Our Curriculum

At Welland Academy our vision is to provide inspirational opportunities to develop knowledge and skills so that our pupils can make positive choices to determine their future.   

Our curriculum is designed to recognise pupils prior learning and provide a framework for them to learn and develop a depth of knowledge which is coherent and progressive. This is enabled through not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, but also through first hand learning experiences and fostering children’s natural curiosity which excites, promotes and sustains children’s interest, in addition to the development of the core values.

The development of knowledge and skills is underpinned by the teaching of basic skills, knowledge, concepts and values. High quality teaching, supported by targeted, proven interventions ensures that individual and small group needs are met. 

We recognise the importance of developing talents within the arts and sports. Our children get taught regularly by an art specialist (have a look at Mrs Moores Art blog here ) and children from Year 2-6 have the opportunity to learn an instrument. 

We strongly encourage healthy lifestyles and good mental health. We support children to lead fit, healthy lifestyles through the PE curriculum and opportunities to compete in sporting events. Lunchtimes and extra-curricular activities additionally provide further opportunities for children to develop these skills. 

Our curriculum encourages children to make choices that are important to them, provide opportunities for them to make a difference and make a positive contribution to the school and the local community. We support our pupils to develop interpersonal skills, building resilience and become creative and critical thinkers through the development of our core values. Through careful provision, our school ensures all pupils, regardless of need and ability, can access the curriculum.

By working with our families and local community, we create an aspirational environment and academy community where everyone is valued and successes are celebrated.
