Our Curriculum
Lincroft Academy Curriculum Intent
Bedford is one of the most diverse and fastest growing areas in the UK. Our curriculum reflects and benefits from that dynamism and diversity through its breadth, ambition and focus upon personal development and student experience. At Lincroft Academy, we care that every child is known, valued and supported to be the best they can be. We empower our students to become both successful learners and confident, respectful, employable citizens.
- Our ambitious, broad and inclusive five-year curriculum instils powerful knowledge, skills and rich personal development to nurture the whole child. Students have access to a range of subjects that provide depth of opportunity for learning and meet the diverse local skills needs.
- We draw on the best collaborative curriculum plans and resources from across Meridian Trust and adapt to meet the specific needs of our context.
- We invest both curriculum and pastoral time into PSHE and Personal Development and extend the boundaries beyond the classroom through trips, visits, events.
- Our House system places students at the centre, fostering belonging, positive relationships and close support. Through student leadership and feedback structures, we give our students a voice which helps shape our community.
- Our comprehensive five-year CEIAG pathway nurtures aspiration and prepares students for life in and beyond Lincroft Academy.
- Our PLEDGES frame the breadth of opportunity at Lincroft as an enactment of our belief that curriculum is much more than the range of subjects taught during the school day.
- Our curriculum is structured, sequenced and delivered in a way that enables achievement for all students, regardless of starting point, individual needs or background.
Lincroft Academy is a fully comprehensive, high-quality learning environment, with inclusion at the heart. We take great care in the pursuit of excellence to match our curriculum to the needs and aspirations of every student in our community.
