Our Curriculum

At the Bramham Shadwell Federation, we offer rich and vibrant opportunities which draw upon meaningful real-life, authentic experiences which are accessible for all children in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 and the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014. Please refer to our SEND policy for further details. We cherish each child’s individuality and character and our creative curriculum inspires and ignites interests within children in line with our vision of creating an inspiring, inclusive community.

We deliver a broad and balanced curriculum based on the National Curriculum to all year groups throughout the year.

Subject leaders ensure a purposefully sequenced development of knowledge and skills through school in their subject, so that each phase builds on previous learning and prepares for that to come. This careful consideration and curation of subjects, paired with high expectations and meaningful cross-curricular links, ensures a rich daily experience for our children and an environment in which they thrive.

In addition to the progression built into our curriculum, we incorporate evidence- backed strategies to improve memory and cognition to enable and empower children to retain knowledge and apply it in different contexts and situations.

The curriculum aims to enable pupils to become happy, confident, responsible individuals and develop key values for success throughout their time at the Federation. Challenge and aspiration are key threads which are embedded within our curriculum design, and we aim to grow children who approach life with self-confidence and resilience.

By the time they leave our Federation, our children will possess the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to be successful in High School and beyond, with the confidence and consideration for others to be happy and successful adults.
