Curriculum Intent

At Gilbert Inglefield Academy, we aim to equip every pupil with the knowledge, skills, and personal qualities they need to thrive — in their next lesson, their next year, and beyond their time with us.
Our curriculum is designed around four key pillars that shape everything we do:

1. Deep Learning and Lasting Knowledge
We are committed to ensuring that pupils learn and retain the key knowledge and skills identified by each subject lead. Our teaching is carefully sequenced and structured to support long-term understanding and academic success.

2. Personal Growth
We encourage every pupil to strive for personal growth — not only in their academic work but in their attitudes, conduct, and aspirations. We celebrate effort, progress, and achievement, fostering pride, ambition and kindness in all areas of school life.

3. Growth Beyond the Classroom
Learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Through a wide range of enrichment opportunities, we offer pupils memorable experiences that broaden their horizons, spark new interests, and grow confidence and character.

4. Independence and Leadership
We nurture independent learners who can think for themselves, reflect on their progress, and take responsibility for their learning. Across the school, pupils are encouraged to develop leadership skills and become positive role models in our community.

Together, these principles ensure that pupils at Gilbert Inglefield Academy are well-prepared for the challenges ahead — academically, personally, and socially.
