Curriculum Aims
At Evolve, we are justly proud of the individualised and personalised curriculum which enables all our pupils to succeed.
The aim of the provision is to provide greater understanding of student needs, to enable them to become more successful with in education, and ultimately to retake their place in their home school. Consilium Evolve caters for students who have a range of vulnerabilities, including anxious learners with a history of persistent absence or non-attendance (emotionally based school avoidance) and are actively working with the mental health service.
Consilium Evolve offers a full-time placement with a broad and balanced curriculum, with therapeutic pathways to support students and parents. Our classrooms are alive with discovery, inquiry, critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration. Teachers talk less. Students talk (and think) more. Lessons have an explicit purpose, guided by learning targets for which students take ownership and responsibility. Student engagement strategies and activities serve to differentiate instruction and maintain high expectations to bring out the best in all students, cultivating a culture of high achievement.
Our approach to curriculum makes standards come alive for students by connecting learning to real-world issues and needs. Academically rigorous, project-based learning expeditions, case studies, projects, fieldwork, and service learning inspire students to think and work as professionals, contributing high-quality work to authentic audiences beyond the classroom.
Key Stage 4 students are supported to be ready for the next phase of their education at post 16.
