At Garden Fields JMI School we aim to grow hearts and minds through a creative, inclusive, challenging and real-world curriculum. 

Our curriculum aims to inspire future thinkers in an environment that stimulates and supports high-quality learning in a broad and balanced curriculum which offers opportunities for deep learning and creative, critical thinking. We recognise all our pupils as individuals and strive to enable all learners to fulfil their potential academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually with their families, in their communities and in the wider world ensuring they become ambitious lifelong learners.

When thinking about our curriculum we wanted to create a well-planned programme, which recognises the knowledge and skills that pupils will need for later life, whilst taking into account the rich diversity of our community’s cultures and the rich history of St Alban’s past. Our curriculum provides children with opportunities to discover and nurture their talents and strengths.

Our curriculum provides children with a range and breadth of rich and memorable learning experiences and also promotes our children’s Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development as well as their understanding of our British Values.

Our curriculum is informed by the use of:

• Curriculum Maestro
• Read, Write, Inc. (RWI) Phonics scheme
• The Write Stuff - English Writing Scheme
• White Rose Maths
• Jigsaw Scheme of Work for Religious Education
• Teach Computing scheme
• Language Angels scheme for French
• P.E Passport Scheme of Work for Physical Education
• Jigsaw Scheme of Work for PSHE

We are a happy, healthy, inclusive community where our children respect, support and empathise with each other. Strong morals are embedded through our school values and curriculum, to encourage children to become rounded citizens of the world, who have their own sense of identity, embracing and celebrating the differences around them.

The teaching of all subjects within the curriculum is fully compliant with our duties under the Equality Act 2010 and Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014.
