Intent

At Alderman Cogan’s we want to give all our children the best possible start in life academically, as citizens and as lifelong learners. Above all, we want them to be highly literate and able to have all the learning necessary to help them to thrive in a complex, changing and competitive world.

We want all our students to be ambitious for themselves and about their futures. We will provide the pathways and support for them to realise their ambitions, ‘through a Christian lens’.

Our ambitious and aspirational curriculum is underpinned by our strong Christian Values through our Cogan Learning Goal’. It is through living out these values within our curriculum and everyday life that our children “work together to follow His example and be the best people we can be.”

We are committed to providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. We encourage an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and promote Christian values through the experience we offer to all our pupils. 

For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29, v11

 

Curriculum design

Alongside our statutory core subjects of Reading, Writing, Maths, RE and Science, as laid out in the National Curriculum, our wider curriculum includes:

  • History
  • Geography
  • RE
  • MFL (Spanish)
  • Art
  • Design and Technology
  • JigSaw
  • Computing
  • Music
  • PE, including swimming

Some of these subjects are delivered by specialist staff.

We provide a creative curriculum with its roots in the Cornerstones Curriculum 22 – a nationally recognised approach for delivering outstanding learning opportunities for all children.

As a school we believe that everything our children are exposed to should be tailored to them, therefore we have taken the fundamentals of the Cornerstones Curriculum 22 and its creative and thematic approach to learning and ensured it is mapped to the Primary National Curriculum. Most importantly we have ensured that our curriculum has been adapted to meet the needs and interests of our children.

Our curriculum provides a plethora of learning challenges throughout the academic year that require our children to solve problems, apply themselves creatively and express their knowledge and understanding effectively across the curriculum.
