Delivering Our Curriculum
At Bourton Meadow we nurture every child to fulfil their whole potential.
Delivering our curriculum
When planning and delivering our curriculum, our key message is children should leave a lesson with more than they had went they walked in.
We recognise that for learning to have taken place, something needs to have altered in children’s long-term memory.
Teachers know their children best and are therefore best placed to make decisions on the delivery of lessons to ensure the children are actively engaged with their learning. The decisions they make will vary depending on the subject, age of the learners and the particularly needs of their cohort.
However, in discussion with the whole teaching staff, and drawing on the evidence relating to metacognition and memory, we have an agreed set of non-negotiables that should be included in every lesson to ensure that all children learn and remember more.
