Careers
The RE curriculum at Goodwin Academy has been designed to develop attitudes such as respect, care and concern, all qualities that are valued in a broad range of career pathways. Careers such as the Public Services, where working with diverse communities requires an appreciation and understanding of differing lifestyles.
The skills and knowledge that our curriculum encompasses enables students to develop transferable skills that support any career choice, in addition the range of topics covered by the programme at Goodwin, aims to develop cultural capital, curiosity and wonder, fairness and self-understanding, giving our young people the powerful knowledge required to move to their next steps.
Fundamental British Values
FBV is at the core of the curriculum at Goodwin Academy. During students’ time studying RE, they will be given the opportunity to understand why Britain has developed in the society they now see. Throughout the RE and wider curriculum we look explicitly at all of the Fundamental British Values.
- Rule of Law is considered across a number of topics including, Protest and Human Rights.
- Tolerance of different Cultures, beliefs and ways of living is promoted through promoting a safe environment where ideas can be explored and discussed. Each year group will experience two curriculum days where there will be a focus on developing an understanding around different belief systems, which is key to combating misconceptions of certain groups.
- The promotion of mutual respect is key to working collaboratively and is promoted throughout the academy, especially through project work.
- Individual Liberty is considered not only through the topics we teach but, in the way, we teach and model behaviour.
- The importance of fairness and self-understanding, feeling confident about their own beliefs while appreciating the views of others without prejudging one’s response.
