At Red Kite School, we believe the word ‘curriculum’ should be interpreted in its widest meaning. It is every planned learning experience, both formally within a lesson and informally outside the classroom throughout the whole school day.
Accessing the curriculum enables students to aspire to our mission statement and school motto:
Red Kite School strives to equip students with the skills, knowledge and citizenship skills to be successful in their future.
School Motto:
Respect – Responsibility – Resilience
Red Kite School Curriculum Intent outlines how Red Kite School strives to equip students with the:
skills, knowledge and citizenship skills, to be successful in their future.
Our ambitious and purposeful curriculum has three aims, designed to deliver a quality education for all and to help our students:
Skills: Develop confidence to tackle and understand those key life skills for success. This will include developing social communication and skills, emotional resilience and an understanding of themselves and others. Prior to joining our school, our students have often found it difficult to understand and regulate their emotions, often leading to behaviour that has challenged. This has led to them being unsuccessful in previous educational placements. It is our ambition to support and educate our students, so they are able to regulate their emotions and behave in a way that allows them to be successful in the future. We know that this will help raise self-esteem and lead to a more positive outlook on life, thus helping to ensure the best future outcomes.
Knowledge: Become successful learners so they are able to achieve the best possible outcomes, equipping them for their individual future. We know that this is different for every child that attends our school. It is our ambition to ensure ALL learners develop detailed knowledge and skills across the curriculum offer to achieve the very best outcomes. Robust baseline and ongoing assessments of each individual allows us to create adapted provision with high expectations for very student
– the staff team are unwavering in supporting students to secure their very best. The staff team will always promote the ideal of always doing your best.
Citizenship Skills: Become increasingly responsible with tolerance and respect for others and our communities. We know that key to this will be for our students to learn how to develop and maintain positive and healthy relationships so they can socialise with others well and experience lifelong friendship. Additionally, we will help raise our students understanding of the world around them whilst promoting core British Values, including democracy, the rule of law and individual liberty.
