There is a requirement for all schools to publish the outline curriculum for each year group on their website. It is impossible to publish details of every aspect of the curriculum. The links below provide access to outlines of the key content for each year group.  It should be noted that the details below are the ‘standard curriculum’ requirements; we constantly differentiate these to support and extend all pupils.

To comply with our duties under the Equality Act we take steps to ensure that the curriculum is accessible for all children with disability or special educational needs by adapting content, providing additional support or resources to support learning.

See link below for Focus Trust Curriculum Statement.

Working within this, all academies in the Trust have developed their own curriculum statements. Please click the link below.

Details of individual subjects can be seen under the specific tabs in the Learning drop down menu.

Staff will always be very happy to discuss the content of the curriculum in more detail with any parent or carer.  Please contact the office if you wish to find our more about the curriculum at Shibden Head.

We pride ourself on key values and concepts that we promote through assemblies, class meetings and ‘think and drink’ time. See below our key concepts for Shibden Head:
