Braybrook Curriculum

We want children and adults at Braybrook Primary Academy to be happy; learning and growing in a safe environment which values the whole person.

At our school

• We respect everyone, promote teamwork and co-operation and celebrate individuals’ successes.
• We provide creative learning experiences that engage and inspire all learners to be the best that they can be.

By the time they leave us in Yr 6, we want all children to have developed the skills and attributes to be:

• Independent and successful learners.
• Happy, healthy and confident individuals.
• Responsible and caring citizens.

It is this vision and these values which underpin and inform our school curriculum and the learning opportunities through which we inspire and engage our learners, in preparation for their future lives.

At Braybrook Primary Academy, we believe that a successful curriculum must be built upon high-quality teaching and inspirational learning opportunities, which allow children to learn in a way that motivates and interests them. The topics that we explore are mapped closely to the coverage and requirements of the national curriculum, whilst allowing our learners and teachers every opportunity for flexibility and creativity, to steer a theme and pursue a topic wherever their interests lead. This has enabled us to create exciting, engaging and meaningful cross-curricular links between Programmes of Study and different subject areas, whilst also developing and embedding the essential skills required of every child in every year group.

Our curriculum, which is supported by Kapow, has been developed to give our students the very best experience. We have a carefully thought out curriculum that has clear identfication of the critical knowledge that will link through subject specific golden threads, substantive concepts and disciplinary concepts.

For further information, why not explore our curriculum and its exciting learning opportunities through:

• the curriculum newsletters, published online here
• the curriculum maps, which record long term ‘connected learning’ opportunities across the school
• exploring the gallery of photographs, which celebrate our love of learning, found in each class page area 
• reading our weekly newsletters, with updates of all our learning across the school
• arranging a visit to our school to see us in action

Remote Education

At Braybrook Primary Academy, we believe that attending school in person provides the best opportunities for learning, personal development and social interaction. Remote education will only be used where a pupil is unable to attend school and is well enough to engage in learning. Remote education is not intended to be an alternative to regular school attendance. 

Where a pupil is absent from school for an extended period due to injury, medical need, suspension, exclusion, or other exceptional circumstances, the school will work with parents and carers to provide appropriate learning opportunities wherever reasonably possible.

Depending on the circumstances and duration of absence, the school may provide:

• Printed learning packs linked to the curriculum being taught in school.
• Access to online learning platforms including TT Rock Stars, NumBots, Maths.co.uk and Accelerated Reader.
• Access to additional learning resources and tasks through the school's digital platforms where appropriate.
• Regular contact with school staff to support learning and maintain engagement.

The type and amount of work provided will be determined on an individual basis, taking account of the pupil's age, needs, length of absence and ability to engage with learning whilst away from school.

Where a pupil has a long-term medical condition or is unable to attend school for an extended period, the school will work closely with families, healthcare professionals and the local authority, where appropriate, to ensure suitable educational provision is in place.
