At Holland Park we deliver a broad and balanced, knowledge and skills-based curriculum which incorporates the National Curriculum but is also reflective of the local context and community. The structure is organised for clear progression over time and with meaningful connections that deepen learning, promote engagement and curiosity and support retention over time. Learning is inclusive and the curriculum is seen as a powerful tool for social mobility with a wide range of opportunities to broaden horizons and to develop a lifelong passion for learning. We encourage children to be brave, reflective learners who understand how to learn from challenges and mistakes and who are fully prepared for their next stage of education. The curriculum is underpinned by trust values to ensure all pupils become independent, responsible and resilient citizens who can positively contribute to society.
