Over the last few years we have worked creatively with our partner school, Montem, to ensure our curriculum is purposeful, creative and enriches the lives of every Drayton Park pupil. In 2023, we worked across our schools to re-write our curriculum. The detail is available on our shared, Edventure website.

In the context of Montem's impending closure, we are transferring content on our curriculum from the Edventure website to this one. This will take us a little bit of time. Please bear with us while we gradually transfer the information.

Our curriculum sets out what we intend pupils to learn at each stage of their journey with us. Our current curriculum was initially developed in 2019 by our school's staff and informed by the views of our pupils. We engaged in a full process of review and improvement in 2023. We began this process by asking ourselves and our pupils some key questions:

• What are your dreams and aspirations for your life? 
• What knowledge, skills, and habits of mind do you need to achieve your dreams? 
• Do you feel like you are represented in our curriculum? 
• What would you like to see included in the curriculum?

Equipped with our pupils' thoughtful, ambitious answers and our clear school vision, we worked in teams to develop the curriculum set out below. 

Why did we change our curriulum?

Prior to 2023 we had a carefully designed curriculum which informed significantly above average outcomes for our pupils and had been praised by Ofsted. However, we had run it for several years and could see ways we could make it even better. Our new curriculum is a continuation of our previous one, retaining the best of what we had, improving aspects we felt could be better and adding in new, ambitious learning.
