British Values
Fundamental British values are powerfully reflected within the ethos of The Redway School and, in ways meaningful to their needs, our pupils learn the rights and responsibilities they have as part of an accepting and caring modern society.
Human principles such as fairness, choice, right and wrong, equality, and respect and tolerance are strongly promoted in all aspects of school life – whether through lessons, play, at mealtimes, on outdoor activities or during special topic days and assemblies. Through carefully planned approaches, we help all pupils at all levels experience and embrace these important values and moral codes.
Building Citizenship Through Cultural Capital
Building cultural capital is at the core of all we do at Redway, it is the essence of who we are. Cultural capital weaves into every strand of our curriculum, for ease we can break it down to show how it underpins the whole curriculum developing the knowledge each child needs in order to succeed in life. We have explored cultural capital and it’s existence in our five areas of the curriculum, we call these our five components of cultural capital.
Our Cultural Capital Core
“leaders take on or construct a curriculum that is ambitious and designed to give all learners, particularly the most disadvantaged and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) or high needs, the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life”

Our approach to SMSC - Underpinning the curriculum
The Redway School is a unique and wonderful learning environment. Our curriculum is varied to meet the very wide range of needs within our school, learning is personalised and pupil led. Each small step of progress is celebrated and understood and shared. For some pupils progress, in its generally understood sense, can be difficult to achieve but when the right opportunities are offered pupils are given the chance to express the skills they have which may range from simply enjoying a sensory experience to swimming a length of the pool.
