Our Curriculum

At Danecourt School, staff are totally committed to the development of children. Children are offered the best start to their education, through a provision that is rich in opportunities and experiences; one that is relevant, that positively influences and promotes lifelong learning, broadening the aspirations, values and opportunities for every child as they grow to fulfil their highest potential whatever their starting point.

The curriculum forms the basis for the learning and experiences that the children enjoy during their time at Danecourt. We appreciate the need for the curriculum to go beyond the required elements of the National Curriculum, its strategies and frameworks and involve imagination, creativity, inspiration, challenge and be fun, whilst offering children dynamic opportunities that are set around a first-hand experimental approach. The curriculum must be responsive to the children, building on prior knowledge and their individual strengths and interests.

Every child is recognised as a unique individual and therefore the curriculum design must be flexible, appropriately differentiated and personalised to meet the wide range of need and differing abilities of the children attending Danecourt. The curriculum is designed to provide challenge, encouraging children to try new experiences and take risks within a controlled and safe environment whilst ensuring children maximise their progress and personal achievements.
