Providing knowledge, resilience and cultural capital towards living a more meaningful and productive life, positively contributing to society, making fulfilling contributions within our local community and endeavouring to reach maximum potential. Encouraging more willingness to function as part of a team. Creating an environment where the emotional, physical, sensory, academic, social, moral, spiritual and cultural development of each person is respected and developed. Respecting how academic opportunities can lead to greater technical and vocational development towards future learning, digital citizenship and employment. Using a broad and balanced curriculum with sequential pathways of knowledge and skills relating to subject disciplines and personal development to guide progress towards individual end points. In order to achieve our Intent, the journey of the curriculum begins with our Ethos and Belief, Curriculum Drivers and Core Values. Consideration must also be made to the Curriculum Statement, Mission Statement and Curriculum Vision which have helped to steer the development and creation of our curriculum offer. Ethos and Belief At Overley Hall School, our ethos and belief is to encourage: Total unconditional acceptance and positive regard. Integrated approaches, where people work together in a ‘partnership of care’ (Carpenter et al, 2015). Professional curiosity and a culture of safeguarding. Individuality; promoting and respecting the ‘voice’ of all. Transparency where the culture of sharing information is welcomed, valued and constructively challenged using a solution focused approach. Trustful partnerships of care working with best interest at the heart of decisions. The development of a ‘can do’ culture; where focus is about what learners can do as opposed to what they ‘can’t do’.
