Curriculum Intent

At Round Diamond we provide a high quality, progressive curriculum that leaves nothing to chance. Our curriculum has been carefully chosen by our expert subject leaders with our pupils at the forefront of our minds. The curriculum is tailored to support our children in demonstrating our school values of being responsible, determined and successful. We encourage determination when children face more challenging skills, knowledge and concepts as their learning is stretched and consolidated. We ensure our curriculum is pitched appropriately to ensure success for all children whilst also providing progression and aspirational outcomes for the children to strive for.

Our curriculum delivers a cumulative sequence of knowledge and skills, building upon prior knowledge from the previous term and year. We value robust assessment for learning identifying children’s gaps in their learning. Our curriculum can then be adapted to ensure these are targeted and the building blocks for future learning are secured.

For learners in our school, consistency is key. From teaching to learning environments we aim to provide seamless transition from Nursery to Year 6. Our curriculum is planned to instil a thirst for knowledge and new experiences, providing children with a range of learning opportunities which further develops the ‘whole’ child and nurtures their social, emotional, physical and creative sides preparing the children to be lifelong independent, resilient learners, prepared for the next stage of their education and lives. An excellent understanding of our pupils’ cultural capital allows for a holistic approach that supports the progression of skills, whilst offering a broad and exciting curriculum.  We strive to create valuable citizens who are successful and can contribute to their whole community.
