Curriculum Intent

At Cambridge Park Academy, we have a clear vision that all pupils develop literacy skills that enable them to acquire a deep, long term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject. We have developed a bespoke curriculum that supports our vision, beginning at the very early stages of development, ensuring the fundamental skills are acquired and mastered.

The curriculum ensures that all pupils develop fundamental Oracy skills to support their ability to listen, understand and interpret spoken language. It supports pupils to develop their communication effectively to convey their thoughts and ideas.

It develops a love of reading through exposure to a range of high interest, rich, quality texts across all stages of the curriculum. It ensures all pupils have the opportunity to develop their reading abilities and make progress to their best of their abilities.

The curriculum demonstrates clear progressive developmental stages for fundamental transcription skills, including spelling and handwriting. It ensures that pupils are able to articulate and structure their own ideas for writing with increasing confidence and independence, as well as working to develop their ability to plan and review writing for a range of purposes.

The Cambridge Park Academy curriculum progression for English begins for pupils that are language partners as per our Fundamentals of Learning Phases.
