 Curriculum Strategy

Our Curriculum Approach at The King’s House School, Windsor

At The King’s House School, Windsor, we believe that education is more than the transfer of knowledge—it is the shaping of character, the nurturing of curiosity, and the development of wisdom. Our curriculum is designed to provide a broad, balanced, and enriched learning experience, grounded in Christian principles and a biblical worldview.

We follow the National Curriculum for all subjects, ensuring academic rigour and progression, while integrating our distinctive Christian ethos into every aspect of teaching and learning. The Bible underpins all that we do, shaping our understanding of truth, morality, and purpose. Whether studying mathematics, exploring scientific concepts, engaging in historical inquiry, or expressing creativity through the arts, we encourage pupils to see the world through the lens of God’s truth and wisdom.

How We Fulfil Our Core Aims

1. A Broad and Balanced Christian Curriculum

Every subject—English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, Spanish (from Year 3), PE, Music, Life & Living, Art & DT, Bible, and Computing—is taught with a biblical foundation. We seek to cultivate spiritual, moral, cultural, mental, and physical development in our pupils, preparing them for a life of purpose and service. Our curriculum encourages critical thinking and real-world application, helping pupils connect their learning with faith and daily life.

2. Mastery Learning Approach

In core subjects such as English, Mathematics, and Science, we use structured programmes like White Rose Maths & Science, alongside other carefully selected resources, to ensure depth of understanding and long-term retention. Pupils are encouraged to develop fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving skills at a pace that suits their individual learning needs. This approach fosters confidence and a deeper grasp of key concepts, enabling students to apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.

3. Developing Individual Gifts and Talents

We recognise that every child is uniquely gifted by God. Our curriculum is designed to nurture and develop pupils’ talents across all subjects, from the logical and analytical to the creative and expressive. Whether excelling in music, sport, the arts, or leadership, every child is encouraged to grow in confidence and ability. Enrichment opportunities, extracurricular activities, and specialist teaching further support the discovery and cultivation of each pupil's unique abilities.

4. Support for Individual Learning Needs

We embrace a personalised learning approach, allowing pupils to progress at their own level, regardless of age. With small class sizes and a nurturing environment, we provide tailored support to ensure that all children reach their full potential. Our inclusive approach ensures that pupils of all abilities, including those with additional learning needs, receive the guidance and encouragement they need to thrive.

5. Collaborative and Independent Learning

Learning at The King’s House School, Windsor is both collaborative and independent. Pupils engage in group discussions, hands-on projects, and cross-year interactions, fostering teamwork, communication, and leadership skills. At the same time, we encourage personal responsibility and independent thinking, equipping pupils with the ability to learn and grow beyond the classroom. Our goal is to develop resilient, inquisitive learners who are prepared for lifelong success.

Above all, our curriculum is rooted in faith and excellence. Every subject is taught in a way that encourages pupils to reflect on God’s creation, His wisdom, and His purpose for their lives. We strive to instil in our pupils a love for learning, a strong moral compass, and a deep faith that will guide them in all they do.

Trips & Visits (or Experiences)

We offer pupils a range of opportunities to enrich their learning outside of the classroom. Each term pupils have a main school trip linked to the topic area they are studying.

Assemblies

Our daily assemblies are used to complement and enhance our core and supplementary curriculum. They are designed to provide a strong Bible based worldview, build character, amplify topics the children are studying and celebrate pupil progress.

Home learning

We work together with parents so that learning at school and at home is aligned and integrated.

We also have regular 'challenges' linked to reading, writing and mathematics, which pupils are encouraged to continue at home.
