Curriculum Intent

At Goodwin Academy we aim to deliver the following ambitious outcomes for our students. Our vision for the curriculum achieved through the following steps.

Promote Academic Excellence
Our curriculum is designed and sequenced to deliver a broad, balanced and ambitious learning experience that stimulates academic enquiry and challenges students while ensuring accessibility for all. Thinking tools support students in acquiring a broad base of knowledge, whilst developing the skills they need to think deeply and become more resilient, independent learners.

Build Cultural Literacy
Our curriculum enables students to experience the wider world, building contextual knowledge and understanding. It assists them in successfully engaging with a wide variety of social contexts, enabling them to become outward-looking students who embrace all aspects of modern life, develop positive aspirations, and are prepared for future employment and lifelong learning.

Recognise and Respect Diversity
Our curriculum develops students' understanding of the uniqueness and differences of individuals, supporting students to recognise their equal worth. It gives students the opportunity  to understand and respect different perspectives within the community and wider world, equipping them to be both local and global citizens.
