We are Wise Owl What we do Work with us News DOWNLOADS CHARACTER, COLLABORATION AND CHALLENGE. OUR GROUNDBREAKING CURRICULUM While our R.E.S.P.E.C.T. character work has hit national and international headlines, it’s just a fraction of what is on offer at Wise Owl. Our dedicated Teaching and Learning team has written a complete curriculum – covering all subjects and all year groups. Based on extensive research, it is designed to give our children a real breadth and depth of knowledge ensuring that they will remember our lessons for years to come. With clear end points designed to prepare them not only for Secondary School but life beyond. We’ve looked afresh at how children learn and created an exciting interconnected curriculum that builds year on year from their first days in reception right through school, designed to encourage long-term memory and boost their cultural capital. Teaching subjects as part of wider concepts – such as Travel and Exploration – and revisiting them every year. Using advancing curriculum schemas, we interweave a broad spectrum of subjects into overarching topics based on our Character role models. So learning about Neil Armstrong could be the starting point for a whole series of lessons incorporating English, Maths, science, art, PE and even other important figures and landmarks from history. Years in the making, it combines extensive research into the latest primary teaching techniques with inspiring lesson plans. Building on our expertise in creating exciting hands-on and character-building lessons, and taking it further with an advanced academic offering across all topic areas. And the best bit – it’s the finished article. A complete set of overarching lesson plans, resources, and boxes of physical tools for every year group, every topic, ready for our teachers to pick up and use. Plus our dedicated Trust Teaching and Learning lead on hand for advice and support. All cutting down on the time – and stress – of continual planning and creating more time for our staff to do what they love best, to teach.
