RAISE Curriculum
Curriculum Rationale
Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
At Halewood C of E, we believe in the uniqueness of each individual child and strive to provide a happy, secure and caring Christian environment where children can thrive.
In all that we do we endeavour to provide a high quality of education within a creative, stimulating, encouraging and mutually supportive environment where children are enabled to develop the skills they require to reach their full potential and have a successful future.
Our RAISE Curriculum is a driving force ensuring that all children receive an inspiring, diverse learning experience. The curriculum has been carefully designed, sequenced and implemented to support the development of the whole child; this includes a growth in knowledge and vocabulary, a greater understanding of self and others, recognising the need for equality and an awareness of economic-wellbeing. In lessons and extra-curricular activities, we hope to encourage children to use their God-given talents to be creative, inquisitive and explorative in preparation for a life of learning.
Our curriculum is inclusive of children with special educational needs. A focus on regular retrieval practice and over-learning of knowledge enables SEND children to retain knowledge, vocabulary and therefore gain a sense of success. Highly skilled teachers adapt teaching where necessary, make reasonable adjustments and scaffold learning for pupils with SEND, ensuring they have access to the same content as their peers.
