STARMAT Curriculum Principles
The curriculum in our school and that of other STARMAT schools is designed to help children become well-rounded individuals who have had opportunities to develop:
Themselves
To become:
- Physically and mentally healthy
- Informed risk takers, problem solvers and critical thinkers
- Articulate communicators
- Reflective, resilient and able to self-regulate
Their ability to interact with others and contribute positively to society
To become:
- Tolerant and respectful of others: different people, places and cultures
- Responsible, aware and engaged citizens: locally, nationally and globally
- Able to develop appropriate and successful relationships
The knowledge and skills which will equip them for life
An entitlement to:
- Develop mathematical fluency and essential literacy skills
- Be taught a broad, rich and age appropriate programme of study in every subject
- Stimulating and exciting learning experiences both within and beyond the ‘classroom’
- Opportunities to take part in sport, performance and other creative activities
- Careers education and guidance
The STARMAT strives to ensure that each school will ensure that its curriculum:
- Reflects local context and is responsive to need
- Is informed by the National Curriculum programme of study for each subject
- Delivers careers education as defined by the Gatsby benchmarks
- Is adapted when necessary to address the specific SEND needs of individual pupils/students
