At Apricot, the curriculum is designed on a knowledge and skills progression model. We are very clear on what students need to learn in order to apply the knowledge they gain. Everything is pinned to the National Curriculum with special attention paid to what has come before (including closing learning gaps) and what is coming next.

Each child is considered individually when choosing lesson and rich-media learning strategies. For all students, we work toward their taking responsibility and ownership of their learning. We encourage engagement and expect effort. We celebrate every small step of progress and help students to recognise and celebrate their own talents.

Measuring impact at Apricot is in-depth and we, therefore, know that our students have gained the knowledge, skills, and understanding we intend them to have. Equally important is the well-being of each student. We know this is being achieved through student voice and our unsolicited student testimonials and parent testimonials.
