Curriculum

At Glenbrook Spencer Academy we provide high quality teaching and learning for every child, making sure that no-one gets left behind.

We work together to ensure that our curriculum engages and excites learners and provides opportunities for deeper exploration. Where possible we engage children in planning the direction and style of their learning, instilling independence and a lasting positive attitude towards learning.

We plan creatively to ensure our content is rich and engages learners. We use pedagogical tools including hooks, missions and stimuli to engage and to create gateways into learning.

We are literacy and reading-focused, understanding that this creates the foundations for learning across all areas of the curriculum.

Each half term the learning is based around a quality text. All children are bought copies of the class book so that they can read at home, immerse themselves in fictional worlds, and begin to build their own library.

In other lessons we use a topic based approach which allows us to deliver the curriculum in an engaging way, and children to make the most of their learning.
