Curriculum

At Oasis Academy Johanna we work hard to deliver a curriculum that represents children’s worlds and widens their views. We believe that the experience of childhood should be rich and exciting so we are constantly adapting our curriculum to account for the changing world around us and the individual young people we meet.

Pupils at Johanna develop skills and knowledge through a wide range of topics, with connections made between subjects all the time. All lessons are carefully planned to ensure that children build on the knowledge they already have. We actively encourage children to ask questions and to delve deeper into the topic areas that particularly inspire them.

Teachers and Teaching Assistants then monitor depth of understanding through formal and informal assessments and give children opportunities to apply their newly-learned skills and knowledge.

Our exciting curriculum is unique in that it rests on our values as a school. We are continuously questioning how to ensure experiences are accessible to everyone, how children can tackle a challenge with the belief that they will succeed and how lessons and enrichment activities can be meaningful and engaging.

Once children move on from Oasis Academy Johanna, we believe that they will have the necessary experiences behind them to be fully prepared for the next stage of their learning and that they will have many happy memories of primary school days to look back on.
