Curriculum

We offer opportunities for our pupils to achieve qualifications across a range of academic and vocational subjects. The school curriculum comprises all learning and other experiences that we plan for our pupils. Pupils have a range of needs that can change over time and in order to best support them the curriculum is highly personalised and continuously reviewed and developed.

The curriculum is all the planned activities that we as a school organise in order to promote learning, personal growth and development.  It also includes the ‘hidden curriculum’, or what the pupils learn from the way they are treated and expected to behave. We aim to teach pupils how to grow into positive, responsible people, who can work and co- operate with others, whilst developing knowledge, skills and attitudes to learning, in order that they achieve their true potential.

Curriculum Intent

The school is clear in its mission of achieving the very best for every learner.  Buzz has considered its context to develop a curriculum which shows a progression of knowledge and skills appropriate to individual pupils’ abilities. All pupils have access to a broad and balanced curriculum which is further enriched by links to the wider curriculum.

The curriculum is designed to stretch, challenge and meet the learning needs of all the pupils and provide them with rich and stimulating experiences, which lay the foundations for future learning, employment and life.

The curriculum provides opportunities to develop academic English, Maths and Scientific skills as well as having strong strands in aesthetic and creative arts and personal development opportunities.

Pupils are supported to achieve to their optimum both within classroom teaching and through additional targeted support and intervention
