Intent

At Tewin Cowper our curriculum is designed to provide children with a clearly sequenced curriculum that allows children to engage in a variety of exciting big ideas and concepts, develop their skills and knowledge and investigate and innovate new ideas. A project led approach means that children will be instilled with a rich subject knowledge and skills that are built upon year on year.  We aim to inspire a lifelong enjoyment of learning by teaching engaging lessons that motivate deeper thinking and enquiring minds. Quality teaching will  support children as they progress through their time at Tewin Cowper and help them to achieve their 'big dreams'.

Implementation

We teach History, Geography, Art and Design & Technology through Curriculum Maestro. History and Geography are taught as our main driver projects and then alongside these main projects, companion projects for Art and Design and Technology are taught. Within these carefully sequenced lessons children will have the opportunity to:

• See clear links between different aspects of their learning
• Learn within a coherent and progressive framework
• Explore the breadth and depth of the national curriculum
• Develop a rich and deep subject knowledge
• Understand the purpose and value of their learning and see its relevance to their past, present and future
• Develop and demonstrate their creativity

Impact

Curriculum Maestro provides a rigorous assessment tool for each subject and with pupil voice and looking at the teaching and learning that takes place, subject leaders can track and monitor progress for all children throughout each year and through the school to ensure children are equipped with all the necessary skills and knowledge to become confident and successful learners.
