Kings Avenue School is in the London Borough of Lambeth, between Brixton and Clapham. We are a friendly, multicultural community school taking children from ages 3 – 11 years. We care for every child and develop their self-confidence within a safe, diverse, happy, and stimulating learning environment.
We are a school that prides itself on being warm, friendly, and inclusive. We have a clear vision for our school which unites staff, governors, families, and children. We strive to be an inclusive school and offer a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum, which is challenging and stimulating and meets the needs of all our pupils regardless of ability, gender, or ethnicity. We believe in the importance of supporting and challenging children to achieve academically, whilst also caring about their development as kind, polite and respectful members of our community.
At Kings Avenue, we welcome parents, carers, and children as partners in the education process. A successful partnership involves close co-operation, support, and trust as well as recognizing that the best education can only be provided when we have a shared vision and responsibility. Our overall aim is that our pupils leave us as confident, enthusiastic learners prepared for their next stage in education.
We will make Kings Avenue the first choice school for all the families in our community. Kings Avenue looks forward to the future with confidence and will enthusiastically prepare children to make good choices as they face the challenges of a rapidly changing world. Our school community will embrace change and be passionate about lifelong learning for all.
At Kings Avenue School, we have embraced these changes whole-heartedly. The new curriculum offers schools more freedom and creativity in how they deliver the content of the programs of study we have used this opportunity to devise a brand-new and innovative scheme of work which is tailor-made to the interests and needs of our pupils.
Our starting point for this process was our pupils. We consulted with them about what they enjoyed about their learning and what changes they would like to see made. Consulting with our pupils inspired us to make our curriculum bespoke to our school, to reflect what is unique and special about our community and children. From this came our rationale, which is based on the principle of five Curriculum Drivers these key messages and themes will be promoted throughout our curriculum.
The result is something we are very proud of. We are certain that the curriculum we have devised will offer breadth and balance of coverage to our pupils, whilst also being completely bespoke to the needs of our school. As it is implemented, we will evaluate its impact rigorously, and we will continue to seek out opportunities to enhance and embellish it. This is a time of great change in schools, but change brings opportunity. At Kings Avenue, it is an exciting time for staff, pupils, and parents alike, as we bring our plans to life in every classroom around the school.
