Laurel Lane's curriculum intent:

From the first day that a child enters Laurel Lane, we pride ourselves on delivering an inclusive curriculum that is responsive to the diverse needs of all our pupils, ensuring that each child, regardless of their background, can access a high-quality education. We are committed to breaking down barriers to learning and providing every student with equal opportunities to achieve their full potential. We have created a curriculum that is flexible and adaptable to the needs of pupils who may join us at different points in their educational journey. Our approach ensures that all children who attend Laurel Lane, regardless of when they arrive, can quickly engage with learning and make strong progress.  

All the staff at Laurel Lane are passionate about fulfilling every child's potential, which enables them to flourish, reaching their full potential. We believe in developing a child's understanding by building and retaining links to prior learning, making their learning journey not a singular event, but an event that carries on, builds and supports them to become 'lifelong' learners. We aim to break down barriers and offer our pupils not just academic knowledge, but also a broader range of life experiences that will open doors to new possibilities, to help make all the difference in their future. 

In today’s fast-moving world, filled with obstacles and challenges, we aspire to give children a voice: to provide them with the depth of knowledge, skills and understanding that will prepare them for the next stage of their lives. At Laurel Lane, we allow children to develop and grow and pride ourselves on giving the children the opportunities to develop their oracy skills: talk is the thread that is visible in all lessons. Discussion and rehearsal are paramount to success.  

Our school is a vibrant, multicultural community and our curriculum celebrates the diversity of our pupils and the wider world. At Laurel Lane, we provide opportunities for the pupils to explore different cultures, histories and perspectives, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone’s experiences are valued and respected.
