Our Curriculum Outcomes

The curriculum at The Raleigh School leads to exceptional outcomes for pupils, academically and beyond.

Academically, pupils achieve well across the curriculum. They develop secure knowledge and understanding in core subjects alongside a broad range of foundation subjects, enabling them to make strong progress from their starting points. High expectations, consistent teaching and well-sequenced learning ensure that pupils are well-prepared for statutory assessments and the next stage of their education.

Pastorally, the curriculum supports pupils’ confidence, independence, and wellbeing. Pupils develop positive attitudes to learning, strong relationships, and a clear sense of belonging. They learn to work collaboratively, take responsibility and approach challenges with resilience. These outcomes are reflected in pupils’ behaviour, engagement and readiness to learn.

Pupils leave The Raleigh School exceptionally well-prepared for secondary education. They transition with the knowledge, skills and personal qualities needed to succeed, including strong learning habits, self-confidence, and an understanding of how to manage increased independence and responsibility.

Together, these outcomes demonstrate the impact of a curriculum that is ambitious, inclusive, and carefully designed to support pupils’ academic success, personal development, and future opportunities.
