Our Approach

At Aldridge School, our approach to education is built around three closely connected areas: curriculum (what we teach and why), teaching (how we help students learn), and assessment (how we check understanding and support improvement). Together, these ensure learning is ambitious, well-sequenced and inclusive.

This page provides a brief overview and links to the three pages below, where you can read more about the principles and routines that underpin our longer policies.

• Curriculum – how we design a knowledge-rich, well-sequenced curriculum so that learning builds over time.
• Teaching – how lessons are structured and taught so students secure key knowledge and then apply it confidently.
• Assessment – how we use checks, feedback and reporting to understand progress and help every student improve.
