At Mo Mowlam Academy, we aspire for all of our children to ‘Aim High and Thrive’. We offer a curriculum which is broad and balanced, and which builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills of all children regardless of their starting points, as they progress through each Key Stage. The curriculum incorporates the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum and a broad range of experiences and opportunities which best meet the learning and developmental needs of the pupils in our school. We provide pupils platforms to build up their resilience and confidence in order to overcome any barriers to learning and develop their own self-control to manage their behaviour and keep themselves healthy, safe and happy. The aim of our curriculum is for pupils to have the requisite skills to be successful, independent and motivated learners in readiness for their next stage of education.
