At CAM, we believe every child should have an entitlement to an excellent education. A rich, ambitious curriculum is at the heart of this. We believe that knowledge matters: the more pupils know, the more they can understand and contribute to the world and think critically. Knowledge is empowering.
Our schools’ curriculums are knowledge-rich and carefully sequenced, enabling pupils to build secure understanding over time. Each subject is taught with clear purpose; we recognise the importance of different subject disciplines, such as science, history, mathematics, languages, and the arts. Through this approach, pupils develop deep knowledge and strong foundations for future learning.
We are committed to ensuring pupils gain the cultural capital they need to succeed and thrive in life. Through the curriculum and wider opportunities, pupils encounter powerful ideas, great literature, important historical events, scientific discovery, and artistic achievement. These experiences broaden horizons and nurture curiosity, confidence, and ambition.
Our curriculum goes further than formal academic subjects. It’s important for all young people to have access to the wider opportunities of a strong enrichment offer in order to find their passions and develop social confidence.
We believe that excellence and equity go together. Access to a strong, ambitious and enriching curriculum should never depend on a child’s background. By setting high expectations and ensuring every pupil studies a broad range of subjects and has access to high quality enrichment, we aim to promote social equity and create greater opportunities for all.
Our curriculum is designed so that every pupil can achieve highly, develop a love of learning, and leave school with the knowledge and confidence to thrive in the future.
