Curriculum
At Latymer All Saints it is our aim to provide our children with the knowledge, skills and understanding that will enable them to enjoy personal achievements, be enthusiastic and curious learners and develop skills such as resilience, awareness, compassion and respect for others. It is our intent to provide a curriculum that is both broad and inspiring, in which pupils learn through practical, engaging and relevant experiences that prepare them for life, work and success in our 21st Century world.
We use a range of schemes and adapt learning to ensure lessons meet our learners’ needs and are shaped by our Christian vision and values, which are at the heart of all we do. Our curriculum encompasses aims, content, pedagogy and assessment and is based on cognitive science and research. The children’s learning is underpinned by the National Curriculum, with a focus on the progressive acquisition of knowledge and skills, embedded into the long-term memory through spaced repetition over time. In each year group there are links for cross-curricular work. We believe that children learn best when engaged with meaningful, creative and practical activities and we seek to encourage the children to be inquisitive, exploring subjects to gain greater understanding, and to think for themselves. Learning is enhanced by many educational visits, which provide wonderful opportunities for the children to immerse themselves in practical learning.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
