Our curriculum is underpinned by our belief that every child can learn, grow and achieve. At Colebrook Infant Academy, we provide a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where children are encouraged to be the very best version of themselves.
We intend to develop pupils who are confident communicators, able to articulate their thoughts, feelings and ideas with increasing clarity. Through a rich and engaging curriculum, children are encouraged to be curious about the world around them, ask questions and explore new possibilities. We support them to think creatively and critically, take risks and embrace new challenges with confidence and enthusiasm.
Our curriculum is carefully designed to provide inspiring and memorable learning experiences that ignite children’s interests and develop a lifelong love of learning. We provide opportunities for exploration, problem-solving and independent learning, while celebrating diversity, promoting inclusivity and challenging inequality. Learning builds upon children’s prior knowledge and experiences and is enriched by our local area, community and history.
Throughout their time at Colebrook, children are encouraged to co-operate with others, learning the value of teamwork, listening and collaboration. They are supported to become resilient learners who understand that mistakes are a natural part of learning and that perseverance leads to success. We also place great importance on helping children show respect for themselves, others and the world around them through their words, actions and attitudes.
The impact of our curriculum is that children leave our school as well-rounded, respectful and confident individuals who are ready for the next stage of their education. They have secure foundations in knowledge and skills, a love of learning, and the determination to overcome challenges. Most importantly, they understand that they can make a difference through their kindness, actions and contributions to their school and wider community.
Our Principles of Learning underpin everything we do at Colebrook Infant Academy: We are Curious, We are Confident, We Co-operate, We are Resilient, We Show Respect and We Make a Difference.
