Curriculum Overview

Our curriculum offer has been designed collaboratively by subject leaders within our school to represent our pupils, whilst working within the parameters of the National Curriculum. Where possible, we have taken opportunities to choose topics that are relevant to the diverse community we serve and make clear links between subjects to provide context to each topic so the children’s learning reflects their experiences. We understand that each child is unique, therefore we ensure our planning allows all pupils to make progress towards their individual targets whilst engaging them in memorable lessons.

We prioritise the core subjects of English, Maths and Science in a structured timetable that emphasises the development of key skills our children need as they progress onto secondary education. We also ensure coverage of all other subjects, including the more creative subjects enabling all pupils to explore their interests. For certain subjects we follow a set scheme of work, for example in RE, we adhere to the agreed syllabus for Telford & Wrekin, and for PSHE we follow the Jigsaw programme.

The world is changing rapidly, with digital literacy becoming increasingly significant in both further education and employment. We recognise the importance of our pupil’s accessing technology and we are taking steps to make it readily available to them, particularly in their final years with us. We want our children to feel empowered and inspired to continue a lifelong learning journey. We want them to be inquisitive and independent, whilst also developing their ability to work cooperatively as part of a team. At Millbrook, all children will develop interpersonal skills which prepare them to become integral members of society.
