 Our Curriculum

Tower Road Academy’s curriculum has been carefully designed to ensure that pupils gain the knowledge and skills required for them to become self-motivated and successful learners, well placed for the next phase of education and for life beyond. Our curriculum framework ensures the children experience a broad, knowledge and vocabulary-rich curriculum, which is purposefully inter-linked and enriched with a wide range of opportunities to embed learning in the long-term memory and ensure future progression.  

At Tower Road Academy, our curriculum documentation is based on the Early Years Framework in EYFS and the National Curriculum in Key Stages 1 and 2; however, it is tailored to meet the needs of our children taking into account the local context and any emerging issues.  Social, moral, spiritual and cultural learning is prioritised throughout the curriculum, ensuring that pupils acquire the knowledge and cultural capital they need to become active and successful participants in today's diverse society. Our school values are intrinsic to our curriculum and support the personal development of all pupils.

Tower Road Academy is committed to providing every child with a full curriculum experience; we carefully tailor our lessons to ensure that disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities can access the curriculum in full and experience success in doing so. Further information on curriculum accessibility for pupils with SEND can be found on this page: SEND Policies

Reading opportunities are emphasised in every area of the curriculum and high-quality and engaging texts have been chosen to enhance the children's understanding, knowledge and vocabulary across different subject areas.
