CARES Curriculum

AWA Walworth Way/CARES Curriculum Principles

Intent Statement:

We offer opportunities for all young people to develop their understanding and implementation of a range of soft skills.

Implementation Key Principles:

The curriculum has been created around the Healthy Minds approach from the Penn Resilience Programme and a bespoke series of lessons that fall under the heading Philosophy & Ethics.
Content is rich, relevant and reflective of the diverse world in which we live.
Learning is sequenced to enable young people to develop knowledge and skills.
Literacy is explicitly delivered across the curriculum.
Learning is adapted to support the specific needs of individuals.
A sustainable approach is supported through the curriculum.
Resilience is promoted for students by frequent (low stakes) assessment to inform teaching

In classrooms, this may look like:

Students will be actively using a range of different skills including: identifying emotions, looking at alternative endings, considering other peoples' points of views and developing skills to deal with stress, anger and procrastination eg: mindful breathing.
Carefully planned shared schema, developed by experts and tailored by teachers to meet the needs of teaching groups
DO NOW tasks drawing on prior learning
Signature strategies used for Checking Understanding, such as Show Call, Show Me, Intentional Monitoring
Shared literacy and reading strategies in place, such as Inside Outside Beyond and whole class reading work
Precise pedagogical decisions made for students with additional needs (EHCP, SEND K, PSP, Behavioural, PA) including additional adults, alternative resources or outcomes, seating arrangements, precise deployment of signature strategies
Teaching which alters according to student understanding demonstrated both from assessment points and within lessons

In work produced, this may look like:

Healthy Minds: Using a range of scenarios to explore emotions and actions.
Philosophy & Ethics: Basic ideologies and beliefs, looking at a multi-cultural society, rights; both legal and human.
Regular feedback, which addresses knowledge or skills gaps
Opportunities for conscious practise by students (reteach episodes, ‘fix-it’ sessions, revision)
Opportunities for self and peer assessment, engaging with success criteria
As relevant to Key Stage, opportunities to engage with exam-style content
Home learning will promote digital literacy in line with school strategy

For students, this experience may include:

Discussing difficult situations in a safe and
supporting environment.
Developing a less biased mind and looking at both the micro and macro world.
Practising the soft skills; negotiation, empathy, looking at things with an open mind, difficult conversations.
Consistent staffing in lessons with teachers who know them and similar learning journeys across year groups
Regular opportunities to engage with feedback on progress (parents’ evenings, progress grades, reports, assessment feedback, in-class feedback, marking)
A clear sense of the curriculum journey leading to CEIAG – how can you pursue this field of study? What might it lead you to?
Where students are taught by professionals at the start of their career, they can expect additional adults in classes supporting through a range of strategies (live coaching, learning walks, observations, team teaching)

Impact Key Principles

In evaluating the impact of our curriculum, we will consider:

Outcomes data, such as A level and BTEC Results, GCSE results, Additional qualifications (sports leaders, community languages, Entry level qualifications) and the performance of vulnerable groups within that data
Destinations data at common points of transition from the school (Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5)
Internal and external Quality Assurance processes (Ark review processes, governor accountability processes, internal audit processes, Ofsted)
The development of professionals into experts in their field through their work in supporting colleagues, supporting other schools, developing curriculum resource, becoming examiners etc.

CARES

Our CARES values underpin everything we do at Ark Walworth Academy. Our CARES values are Commitment, Aspiration, Resilience, Excellence and Self-Management and because we value these themes we allocate a series of taught sessions each week to students to develop and practice these skills.
