About our curriculum

At Sir Bobby Robson School, we pride ourselves on personalising the education we provide to each pupil, in the belief that by re-igniting their interest in academic studies and vocational practice, they will reach their full potential with us. We are committed to the education and welfare of our pupils, with the goal of preparing them for the next step in their lives. 

Our school holds at the heart of its work the ambition to create an environment that fully equips pupils for their personal and academic development. Our goal is to empower and support each individual student to achieve in practical, functional, and long-lasting ways. Pupils’ time with us should provide them with the pathways to access futures that they did not see as possible when they first arrived at SBR. 

Our curriculum aims to:  

• Provide a broad and balanced curriculum that is designed to meet the diverse needs of our students. Programmes of study are derived from the National Curriculum; Key Stage 1 – Key Stage 4.  

• Place a strong emphasis on developing knowledge and skills within English and maths, recognising these as essential foundations for future learning and independence.  

• Recognise individual starting points and ensure equal access to learning for all pupils, with high expectations for every pupil and appropriate levels of challenge and support  

• Focus on the core challenges that children with social, emotional and mental health difficulties may face and we aim to remove barriers to learning to equip pupils with the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life and have a positive future.  

• Improve self-regulation, improve coping strategies with anxiety and change, improve the ability to make and sustain meaningful reciprocal relationships, increase independence and support academic progress.
