Compton Dundon School offers a broad and  balanced curriculum that is based upon the National Curriculum. The curriculum is differentiated to meet the needs of each pupil to ensure that all material taught is appropriate, engaging and relevant. 

At Compton Dundon School we recognise that there is now a tremendous need to provide an alternative education to pupils with individual difficulties and/or for those whom the restrictive nature of the traditional academic curriculum is too stifling. To address this we have created a dynamic, engaging, relevant and coherent curriculum that stimulates the pupil’s development and lays the foundations for later study. The curriculum will also serve to prepare them for the transition into adulthood and provide the skills and flexibility for the rapidly changing world of work.

Our curriculum aims to...

• Help pupils develop a love of learning and a sense of place.
• Ensure pupils achieve their potential in Literacy and Numeracy.
• Build technological competence and safety in the ever-changing world of IT.
• Develop responsible young people who are environmentally aware.
• Celebrate our community and nationwide cultural diversity.
• Cater for and support individual academic needs and interests.
• Build on communication and problem solving skills.
• Provide spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
• Enhance social skills.
• Teach essential life skills.
• Inspire through positive challenge.
• Help pupils overcome individual difficulties to create confident, effective learners.
