A particular strength at Oaklands is our focus on Interdisciplinary Learning, one of the four contexts for learning in Building the Curriculum 3. Our pupils have the opportunity to learn similar skills across the curriculum, with the aim of promoting deeper understanding and ensuring the curriculum is more coherent and meaningful from the learner’s point of view. By learning beyond subject boundaries we aim to support our children and young people in making connections between different areas of knowledge.
Our child-centred approach acknowledges individual learning styles and provides our pupils with appropriate activities in a safe, exciting, stimulating and challenging environment. We focus on attainment and achievement, delivering a wide range of curricular and heuristic opportunities, designed to support our pupils to reach their full potential.
