Our Curriculum
Empowering every child to thrive and flourish
At Educational Diversity, our curriculum is designed around a simple ambition:
To provide a broad, relevant and innovative curriculum that empowers every child to thrive and flourish, preparing them for life beyond Educational Diversity.
As an all-through Pupil Referral Unit and Alternative Provision, our pupils join us at different ages, at different points in their education and for different reasons. Many have experienced disruption to their education, gaps in learning, reduced confidence or difficulties engaging successfully with school.
Our starting point is therefore always the individual child or young person: what they already know and can do, what their strengths are, what they need and where they need to go next.
We believe that Alternative Provision is an intervention, not a destination. Our curriculum is designed not simply around where a pupil is now but around preparing them successfully for their next stage.
This is reflected in our curriculum journey:
Connect
We build strong relationships, establish a sense of belonging and take time to understand each pupil’s strengths, needs, experiences and starting points.
Re-Engage
We support pupils to reconnect positively with education, rebuild confidence and establish the routines, relationships and readiness for successful learning.
Progress
We provide ambitious learning which builds knowledge and skills, addresses gaps, develops independence and enables pupils to experience meaningful academic and personal progress.
Transition
From the beginning of a pupil’s journey with us, we consider what comes next. We prepare pupils for a successful transition to the educational setting, vocational pathway, further education, training or employment that is right for them.
