Intent and Implementation
Our curriculum Intent at Glebelands is to:
- Challenge aspirations
- Open minds – through encouraging intellectual curiosity & independent thought
- Create opportunities for students to thrive
These three concise elements underpin our both our curriculum intent and our wider school intent.
As a result, our curriculum is ambitious allowing students to strive for excellence. This can be seen through students work, examination results, student destination data and the feedback we get from students themselves. It is coherently planned and sequenced do develop both deep knowledge and the skill of applying this knowledge. This can be seen through viewing the whole school curriculum map and by reading the department brochures on the subject pages of our website.
