A Bespoke Curriculum fitting pupils’ needs

LOGS takes the National Curriculum as a starting point using those parts which we feel are useful. It acts as a guide in the development of our schemes of work but our smaller classes enable us to both extend and enrich the educational opportunities for our students.

At LOGS we define the curriculum as “what our pupils will learn” not the traditional classification of “what our teachers will teach”. This distinction is important and not purely one of semantics. This strikes at the heart of what makes LOGS different from other schools. We place the individual academic needs of our students at the centre of all that we do.

Being an “independent” school ensures that we are not tied to delivering a curriculum which we consider to be inappropriate for our pupils.

We are determined to retain a curriculum that values questions above answers, creativity above fact regurgitation, individuality above conformity, and the pursuit of excellence above standardised performance.

Our curriculum aims to make our students learn how to think, more than simply what to think – to improve their minds, enabling them to think for themselves, not simply to load their memory with the thoughts of others.
