Curriculum Overview

At Flegg, our students study an ambitious curriculum which is accessible to all.  We hold the student at the heart of our curriculum and it is built around our shared core values of kindness, aspiration and respect.  We believe that every child, regardless of background or ability, has the right to an excellent education that helps them to be and become the best version of themselves. This is The Flegg Way.

Our curriculum maps out a journey that enables students to build upon their skills and knowledge developed at key stage two and it prepares students for further study at key stage 5.  This journey can be seen in the learning journeys that have been produced in every curriculum area.  Our curriculum enables students to develop an understanding of themselves, the world around them and the wider world.  We place great value in developing the person and ensure the curriculum goes beyond the National Curriculum with an emphasis placed on cultural capital, we strive for our curriculum to be beyond the typical in all areas.

We understand the importance of our students being numerate and literate individuals and that this sits at the core of social justice in education.  We strive to give students the opportunities to develop these skills at various points throughout their time with us including the Read Aloud project in year 7 to ensure that all students are read to by an adult on a regular basis. Our curriculum holds the student at its heart and our personal development and PSHE curriculum takes into account both the local and national context of our students to help prepare them for the wider world.
