ARK Oval Curriculum Overview 2014
Striving for Excellence
At Ark Oval Primary Academy we are committed to giving every pupil the skills and knowledge to fulfil their potential and make their dreams reality.
ARK Oval Curriculum Overview 2014
ED Hirsch argued that… ‘it is not possible to develop a skill independently of a context of knowledge. His early research was about literacy, and he found that children performed better at a whole range of reading skills when they were familiar with the context of what they were reading. If they were reading about, say, ballet dancing and already know something about it, then their skills were better – even to the point of being able to recognise words they could not recognise in unfamiliar contexts.’ (The curriculum Foundation PPT)
Brian Male (2012) describes the curriculum as a tree…
‘Above the ground you have the ‘branches of learning’: Science, Humanities, the Arts, etc. If you follow one of these branches, it will divide into smaller ones, or twigs. These are the subjects. So Science divides in Physics, Chemistry and Biology; the Humanities into History, Geography and Citizenship. Do you get the idea? At the end of these smaller branches are the leaves. These are the individual bits of learning that we find in Programmes of Study or in syllabuses. Each individual leaf does not seem quite so important. In fact, one leaf could fall off and the plant could keep on growing. In fact, if the plant has good roots, all the leaves could fall off and the plant could grow a whole new set. In fact, it could do this year after year – and wouldn’t this be called “life-long learning”? The trunk is the ‘quality of pupils’ learning experiences’ – and this is the key to successful curriculum design…’ (The Curriculum Foundation PPT) ARK Oval Primary Curriculum has evolved from Brian Male’s and Ed Hirsch ideas of curriculum development and our drive for depth before breath. The roots of our tree symbolize the key skills and values that will ensure our pupils are stable and have the fundamental skills to turn their dreams into reality. Our trunk symbolizes the strength of their character and the experiences that mould them while the leaves and branches are the concepts the pupils learn throughout their life. As our pupils grow and the seasons change, their knowledge grows, their opinions change and sometimes their ideas are strengthened. The seed that starts our journey is based on the ‘Power of Reading’ and ‘Not as you know it’ curriculum. Our approach aims to engage and motivate our pupils through the use of quality text that are studied over several weeks. Cross curricular links are made to support children’s understanding of the text. For example they could be reading the book ‘Treason’ and studying the Tudors in History.

Challenge Week
ARK Oval Curriculum Overview 2014
During challenge week pupils are expected to work in groups/pairs to present and present a project based on the theme of the term. Teachers
plan outcomes for each subject area. Discrete lessons in phonics and maths continue during this week. SEAL sessions focus on building team
skills. Each member of the team is given a role and the pupils keep a learning journey throughout the week. At the end of the week pupils
must be given the opportunity to reflect on their participation in challenge week. Pupils are expected to produce at least 2 written pieces and
present their project to an audience. Children are also given the opportunity to explore enterprising project that link to specific themes.
Example of a Learning Log
In the learning Logs, the children record their
responses to learning challenges set by their teachers. Each log is a unique record of the child’s thinking and learning. Children are given time
to add to their learning logs on a daily basis during challenge week.
