Harbours and Horizons Curriculum

Kara Dyski- Love Learning

Why Harbours and Horizons?

We have named our curriculum after ‘Harbours and Horizons’ to reflect the different elements of our curriculum offer as a composite whole, but also to recognise the influence of those 11 key principles that underpin our curriculum design.

A harbour represents something that is strong, safe, deep and provides shelter and security. It is often the point at which a journey begins or ends.

Our curriculum provides harbours for our learners through being:

•          Inclusive
•          Focused and Appropriate
•          Coherent and Connected
•          Relevant

A horizon represents something visible, but in the distance; although it may include a number of unknowns, it is perhaps something to aim for, or aspire to reach, when setting off on a journey.

Our Curriculum provides horizons for our learners through being:

•          Broad and balanced
•          Ambitious
•          Vertically integrated
•          Rigorous
