Our curriculum at New Avenue School is designed to support every pupil’s social, emotional, and academic growth in a caring and inclusive environment. We believe in recognising each child’s unique strengths and challenges, helping them reach their full potential and succeed as confident, capable individuals in the 21st century.
​
Our approach is guided by the following principles:
 
Holistic Approach
We take a whole-child approach, giving equal attention to pupils' physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development. By nurturing every aspect of a child’s growth, we aim to build well-rounded, resilient, and confident individuals.
​
Personalised Learning
We treat each pupil as an individual, tailoring content, activities, and interventions to their specific needs. This personalised approach ensures that learning is engaging, accessible, and aligned with each child’s strengths and aspirations.
 
Bridging the Gap
Recognising that some pupils may have gaps in their learning, our flexible curriculum uses retrieval, repetition and the delivery of content into small, manageable steps to address these needs. We create age-appropriate pathways to help pupils master essential skills from earlier stages, allowing them to progress confidently.
 
Positive Behaviour Support
Our school culture promotes positive behaviour and personal responsibility. We use a proactive approach to behavioural management, encouraging pupils to develop self-regulation skills and handle challenges with resilience, even after conflict.
 
Community Cohesion
A strong sense of community is central to our school. We actively involve pupils, parents, and other stakeholders in daily activities, projects, and long-term planning. Through open communication and collaboration, we ensure that everyone feels heard, valued, and connected within the school community.
