At Roselands we strive to ensure that we provide a curriculum that is engaging, relevant and challenges our children. We aim to provide an outstanding education that ensures all pupils reach their greatest potential.
All pupils will secure firm foundations in English and mathematics and this underpins a growing excellence in other subjects. Our curriculum offers a broad range of subjects from Early Years through to Key Stage 2 (KS2) that is inclusive of all of our learners. We believe in bringing learning to life, both indoors and out, with an emphasis on engaging and purposeful learning.
Closely following the National Curriculum, the Roselands curriculum has been designed with a thorough knowledge of the children and local demographic, is ambitious and gives all the pupils the knowledge, skills and cultural capital they need to succeed in life. The curriculum offers a range of opportunities and is inclusive for all children. The curriculum at Roselands is grounded in the strongest available evidence about how pupils learn and retain knowledge in the long term – focusing in particular on research from cognitive science.
We want our children to become eloquent orators, speaking with confidence, articulation and fluency in a variety of situations. We want children to be thoughtful communicators and prepare them to talk and respond considerately. We work to broaden vocabulary and encourage talk in all areas of the curriculum. Subjects are taught with an emphasis on vocabulary acquisition.
Oracy education is a moral imperative and a matter of social equity, just as talk is the heart of how we communicate, learn, discover, explore, express, interact, relate, empathise, create, collaborate and connect, so oracy must be at the heart of education. Oracy runs throughout the education of our children during their time at Roselands and we focus on learning through talk as well as learning to talk.
