Camberwell Park Specialist Support School

The intent for our Know and Remember Curriculum is simple – we want our pupils to know more and remember more. This allows our pupils to achieve any ambition they may have and lead a life brimming with success, happiness and  fulfilment.

Our pupils develop the biggest breadth of knowledge possible. From the life span of a stegosaurus  to the history of football from making a Greek salad to cooking with basic rations, from orienteering to yoga- our pupils know it all! The huge amount of content is chosen carefully by our skilled subject leaders to ensure that pupils  learn about the most exciting, the most interesting, the most surprising and critically the most relevant content that will enrich their life  and inspire a love of learning.

However in order to learn about such a vast array of topics it is vital that this is supported by a deep understanding of skills needed to become experts within these subject areas. You cannot become a historian without being able to use chronology, you cannot become a scientist without being able to observe and you can’t become a philosopher if you can’t question! Therefore pupils develop a very specific set of skills in each subject area that allow them to become the geologists, composers, poets, sportspeople, mathematicians and all round great citizens of the future!

We value deeply the community we live in and we love the fact that we have a hugely diverse range of backgrounds, cultures and values right on our doorstep! We have designed our curriculum specifically to ensure that we utilise all that our wonderful community can give us and what we can give back in return– our pupils, our community, our curriculum, to live  our best lives.
