We recognise that each child’s journey has a different starting point and that they will not necessarily progress at the same rate, so our ambition to achieve our aims is the same for every child and our curriculum is carefully designed to facilitate this.
As well as encouraging high expectations for their own personal development, we nurture our pupils’ appreciation of difference and diversity, encouraging them to demonstrate empathy and inclusion for all.
At William Penn, we recognise that our pupils are a part of a global community and help the children to gain a sense of place and understanding, so that they can play a part in its future. We place learning in global contexts in order to celebrate diversity and emphasise unity.
We recognise that children cannot aspire to things that they have never encountered, so we broaden our children’s horizons, extending their knowledge of the world by nurturing their interests and encouraging them to try things that are new.
Through our curriculum, the children learn knowledge and skills which build and deepen understanding across a wide range of subjects. We strive for children to learn skills and knowledge ensuring that both are developed. Alongside developing their knowledge, skills and understanding, we equally value increasing their enjoyment, enthusiasm and motivation towards learning.
