The Wilstead Curriculum is underpinned by our values. It provides our children with strong foundations and encourages a lasting love of learning. We focus on developing independence and curiosity, and teaching our children how to learn and how to take pride in their learning. Our curriculum is ambitious and designed to give children the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life.

Each subject is led by an experienced and qualified teacher who supports the delivery and quality assurance of the learning in their subject. This means that all subjects are equally represented across all phases of the school.

Continous professional development for all teaching and learning staff is overseen by Deputy Head teacher Nicola Webb, in her capacity as Curriculum Leader and in conjuntion with other senior leadership team members. This ensures that teaching remains relevant and is of a consistently high quality, and enables the team to take advantage of developments in the fast-moving world of education. The Curriculum Lead takes responsibility for holding subject leaders to account and ensuring that they are provided with the time and resources they need to deliver a quality first curriculum offer.

We are committed to making the curriculum accessible for those with disabilities or special educational needs.  For further information about how we do this, please click here.
