Curriculum
At Farlingaye they endorse the notion that, when we talk about the curriculum, they are talking about what Dylan Wiliam has called the “lived experience” of the students. This means that the curriculum is everything that we provide and that students engage with. The combination of subjects offered to our students and of programmes of study chosen by subject teams is part of the curriculum, but so too is the set of decisions made by each individual teacher regarding the resources and tasks they will use to deliver those programmes. The activities offered through lunchtime clubs and the sports fixtures in which students play are part of the curriculum. Discussions within tutor time, the 1:1 sessions offered to SEND students, the rehearsals for school performances, and all our trips and visits are all part of the curriculum

Things to note
YOUNG CARERS GROUP
School communities reflect society and so here at Farlingaye the school community includes people from a range of backgrounds, with varied experiences and a huge variety of responsibilities. One group of students for whom their home situation may influence their experience of school and all it has to offer, are young carers.A young carer is a student who helps to look after a family member; this may involve physical or emotional care, or taking responsibility for someone’s safety or well-being. However the level of responsibility assumed by a young carer is often inappropriate to their age and at a level beyond simply helping out with jobs at home, which is a normal part of growing up; as such it may impact on the education of the young person. Our aim is therefore to support the young carers within the school and to raise awareness of the role of young carers.
