Curriculum Rationale
LVC Curriculum Intent
At Linton Village College we strive for all students to benefit from an ambitious, inclusive and enriching curriculum experience.
Our founding values of life-long learning remain important to our culture and curriculum ethos. We aim to provide all students with the knowledge and skills to allow them to be successful in their learning and in their lives, and enable them to make a positive contribution to their communities.
We believe that all students thrive when they are inspired by a challenging curriculum that broadens their horizons and exposes them to powerful knowledge. A rich, broad and balanced curriculum allows students to acquire an appreciation of subject disciplines, develop cultural capital and gain experience in understanding and applying skills. We give equal importance to promoting intellectual, spiritual, creative, emotional and physical development through a range of subjects and curriculum content.
The curriculum is designed to meet the needs, abilities and talents of all students, offering appropriate support strategies to aid progression. Inclusive classrooms create the conditions for students to become independent, responsible and curious learners, essential Linton Learner attributes. As a caring and relational school, we create a climate for learning which encourages mutual respect and builds healthy relationships.
Fostering a love of learning is integral to students’ holistic learning experience. We offer enriching experiences to spark students’ curiosity and provide opportunities for real-world learning through a range of co-curricular opportunities.
Everyone is a learner at Linton, including the staff. We continually evolve the curriculum and update our pedagogical approaches as reflective and passionate practitioners.
