Curriculum Overview

Our Curriculum at The Carlton Infant Academy 

At The Carlton Infant Academy, we are proud to offer a progressive, well-structured, and inclusive curriculum that nurtures every child’s curiosity, creativity, and love of learning.

Rooted in high expectations and thoughtful planning, our curriculum is designed to provide all pupils - no matter their starting points - with the knowledge, skills and experiences they need to thrive, both academically and personally. We believe that every child deserves access to a rich and ambitious curriculum that builds year on year. From the moment they join us in the Early Years, our children embark on a carefully sequenced learning journey that supports their development across all areas of the curriculum. Each subject is thoughtfully mapped to ensure progression, depth and coherence, enabling all children to make meaningful connections and apply their learning with confidence. 

Our curriculum is underpinned by our core values: having high expectations of all students, valuing and celebrating academic achievement, delivering outstanding teaching for all, widening children’s experiences, promoting equality of opportunity and embedding British Values in all we do. We aim to develop learners who are resilient, resourceful, reflective and able to work in reciprocity with others. We want our children to be curious, ambitious and equipped with the skills and mindset to succeed in an ever-changing world.
