Nancealverne Recovery Curriculum

Welcome to our Recovery Curriculum

Intent:

At Nancealverne School we recognise the impact that the coronavirus (CoVID19) pandemic, the resulting lockdown and social distancing measures has had on the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of our school’s pupils, families and staff. The intent of the ‘Recovery Curriculum’ is to prioritise the importance of good health and wellbeing of pupils, families and staff as fundamental factors in ensuring that our pupils can engage effectively with their learning. In prioritising and planning for the key areas of: Relationships, Community, Curriculum, Space and Staff Wellbeing, the school aims to minimise the impact and allow pupils, families and staff to develop skills and understanding to manage and improve their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. We intend to maintain physical distancing, whilst promoting social interaction.

Relationships:

The length of time away and the effects of social distancing means there is a need to restore thriving inter-personal relationships and friendships.

Community:

Changes in the community and information that has been difficult to process means there is a need to understand our wider community’s response and anxieties and engage the community in the safe transitioning our pupils’ learning back into school and into the wider community.

Curriculum:

The length of time away from a structured, education focused school environment means there is a need to offer clarity to pupils and parents /carers how we are prioritising gaps in learning over the lock down period.

Working with pupils and families to decide and highlight focus areas of curriculum related to time that was lost. Celebrate from home working.

Space:

The length of time social distancing will have limited social contact and expectation, this means there should be a consideration for children needing a space to process and come to terms with changes.

Health and Wellbeing (including staff):
