Curriculum
At Latton Green we use the national curriculum as a minimum. The curriculum we have written from this is devised to prepare pupils to be ‘life ready’ as a ‘global citizen’ but what does this mean?
Academic Success
Our rich knowledge based curriculum means that pupils gain essential knowledge and have the opportunity to be experts in every subject.
Knowledge to be taught each term is shared with pupils and parents at the beginning of the term through a Factfile. This knowledge can be ‘quizzed’ multiple times in a low pressure, high expectation environment to maximise progress.
Expertise is developed through skills- pupils will understand what it means to be a geographer, historian, scientist, writer, mathematician etc... and work on this throughout their time at Latton Green.

Physical Development
Our Studio hosts our in-house physical development lessons where pupils have access to a wide range of equipment including:
- Archery
- Boccia
- Curling stones
- Gymnastics Vaults
In addition to formal lessons with a specialist teacher we run ‘Get Up Get Going’, sporting excellence clubs, exposure opportunities and more. During social times pupils increase their physical development throughout organised games and free use of equipment.
Positive Wellbeing
At Latton Green pupils develop a sense of responsibility in being part of the Latton Green Leadership Programme (LGLP). Leadership groups include:
- Digital Leaders
- Eco- Warriors
- Musical Maestros
- Oracy Champions
- Creative Masters
- Sports Council
