The Anthem Way

How we work to fulfil our vision

Teaching and Learning Leads from across the Trust are currently working to finalise The Anthem Way. This will be our set of codified principles for curriculum, assessment and pedagogy which all schools will use from January 2024. Our schools are already using these principles, but we want to unify them further and develop a meaningful shared language.

The Anthem Way will specify how we teach in our schools. Our teaching approach is grounded in cognitive science, designed for maximum impact on learning. We will work consistently, lesson by lesson, student by student, to provide evidence-based instruction within a knowledge-rich curriculum.

The Anthem Way will also guide how we support students and families. Our goal is to create ambitious, successful schools in which every child thrives. The Anthem Way reflects our commitment to making this vision a reality in all aspects of our work.

The Anthem Curriculum

The Anthem Curriculum is about what we teach. Working together, we are developing an impactful curriculum that is knowledge and disciplinary rich, is underpinned by evidence and research, and meets the needs of every student.
