The E2L curriculum provides an opportunity to embed communication and positive learning habits at the front of learning to develop students who show respect, accept responsibility, and build resilience for themselves and others.

The curriculum will support students to develop metacognitive and self-regulation strategies by explicitly teaching young learners how to learn effectively, equipping them with the skills and understanding to ensure success throughout the school and in the future.

Value is placed on all aspects of literacy, and the process of reading, writing and using ICT as a form of communication is instilled throughout the curriculum. Oracy is used to explore and develop language with an emphasis on learning to talk as well as developing the ability to learn through talk.

The Empowering to Learn curriculum is a place to celebrate, take risks, explore potential. The E2L curriculum is the arena in which students receive their statutory curriculum for Religious Education, Personal Development including Relationships, Sex and Health Education, Citizenship and Careers Education. It will become a model for how we maintain our ethos that Anything is Possible.
