Our Values and the Curriculum
Our Values and the Curriculum
Wave Trust Academies are unique in character, context and cohort; but united in common purpose.
Whether a behaviour APA, Medical APA or Special Education APA; whether Primary, Secondary or Cross Phase provision; whether short stay provision or a permanent placement, our curriculum is underpinned by the following:
Our Mission Statement
We are committed to progressing the social, emotional and academic outcomes for all of our pupils to enable them to achieve their true potential.
Our Vision
To significantly change pupil lives for the better
Our curriculum is underpinned by our WAVE values, which also serve as powerful and unique drivers for our curriculum:
Be positive: We have the highest expectations of what our pupils are capable of, no matter what their starting points, and no matter how many fresh starts. Through our Curriculum offer, we will strive to develop unique talents; build confidence; aspiration; attainment and at KS4, also qualifications.
Show empathy: We seek first to understand, then to be understood. Through our curriculum, we will develop empathetic learners who have an awareness, understanding and are considerate of themselves; their peers; our communities; as well as of the world around us all.
Have respect: Our curriculum will support of students to respect themselves, each other and teach an understanding and awareness of diversity.
Work as one team: Our curriculum gives our students opportunities to work collectively together, through opportunities to talk, listen, and create. We will draw on every opportunity for learning, both planned and unplanned, to develop pupils’ ability to reflect, engage and relate positively to one another.
Be inclusive: We will strive to ensure our curriculum is accessible and meets the needs of all our learners. Not one size fits all, but skilfully adapted to meet individual need and SEND/SEMH need. * Special Educational Needs (SEN) Policies - Wave MAT
