At AMS we pride ourselves on a curriculum that is broad, rich and challenging.
“Intellectually demanding work is an entitlement for all pupils regardless of their starting points” ~ Mary Myatt
It is because our curriculum is relevant, responsive and inclusive that our pupils are enabled to flourish academically, socially and spiritually; successfully preparing them for the next steps in their learning.
Our curriculum is carefully designed and sequenced to allow our pupils to acquire the skills and knowledge to become creative, confident and responsible young people, who can succeed in their ambitions, become well-informed citizens and make their communities better places to be.
At the heart of our curriculum is our pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. We actively promote our Christian Values which together with British values, are woven into the ethos of our school. Our curriculum design develops our pupil’s spirituality.
Our adaptive curriculum delivery and mastery approach enables our pupils to engage in a depth of learning in which they are equipped to make links across subjects and to real-world contexts. Our wider curriculum opportunities and homework provision is used to further enhance pupils’ independence and to deepen and give breadth to understanding enabling our pupils to consolidate their knowledge and skills.
Our values of respect, responsibility, resilience, aspiration, and equality underpin everything we do.
- Ambition: We are ambitious in everything because we want to offer the best education to each pupil
- Excellence: We do not stop at ‘good enough’ we strive to be even better
- Creativity: We connect our knowledge in innovative way
- Resilience: When the going gets hard, we up our game and reach our goal Inclusion: Every child and every colleague matters – we will work for and with them all
- Respect: We value the ideas of others, hold our own views lightly whilst being humble, making sure all voices are heard
- Consistency: We model positive attitudes, values and behaviour which are expected of pupils consistently and support each other to achieve this
