Our Curriculum
At TFS, we are committed to providing a rigorous, academic, knowledge-based curriculum, with a core focus on ensuring excellent provision in EBACC subjects whilst providing a rich creative and vocational provision to help all pupils achieve. This will empower all of our pupils to gain success in any field and will play an instrumental role in closing the gap for disadvantaged pupils.
We know that a pupil’s ability to read will have a significant impact on how rapidly they are able to gain knowledge and make progress across the curriculum so we place reading at the heart of our school. Our curriculum provides regular opportunities for disciplinary reading and our coaches start the school day reading with pupils as part of our Turner Reads programme to foster a love of reading and to create a community of avid readers. In addition, our rigorous intervention programmes ensure that every pupil is reading at or above their chronological age as soon as possible after they join TFS.
