On this page, you will find a lot of information about our curriculum. At Knightlow, we have created a tailored curriculum that we feel meets the needs of our children and ensures that we continue to offer high quality, engaging learning experiences. To do this, we are supported by a number of schemes, used as a skeleton for planning and augmented by ideas and activities that enrich the learning. There are details of these below.

Underpinning the curriculum are two main pillars that support all elements of learning: the Learning Power Approach and Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural aspects of learning. These core principles help us to develop learning dispositions and characteristics that children can apply to all subjects and experiences. They encourage thoughtful, reflective and independent practice and encourage children to notice the world around them, drawing on their own reserves to become passionate learners who take responsibility for their own achievements and successes. Both the LPA and SMSC also reflect our identity as a Christian school, making Reverence a core disposition and helping children see and understand spirituality in their everyday lives. This is complemented by daily collective worship, and regular whole school events that celebrate our distinctively Christian nature.

Our curriculum is further enhanced by projects such as Stories4Schools which is a significant event in our school calendar and contributes to our work within the International Schools framework. In Working with the Harris School Sports Partnership, we plan and deliver P.E. and supporting activities that have helped us achieve Sportsmark Gold year upon year. We have also held Artsmark Gold for a number of years and are currently submitting the application for our next award in recognition of the role the arts play in Knightlow's provision. With a focus in the last year on learning through drama and our continued work with partners such as Warwick University and the Maths Hub, there is always something happening to pique the children's interests and make their learning interesting, varied and fun.
