The Harmony Model Curriculum
As part of a multi-academy trust, we benefit from the shared expertise, experiences and collaboration of our colleagues across the organisation. 'The Harmony Model Curriculum' has been written, regularly evaluated, reviewed and adapted by our experienced practitioners over recent years. It provides an evidence-based approach, structure and guidance which academies implement whilst considering the individual context of their setting. Teachers and subject leaders are supported with high-quality CPD to ensure they have the skills and knowledge they need to deliver an exciting and meaningful curriculum for the children.

Rationale for Curriculum Design
Following extensive self-evaluation and an in depth knowledge of the local community, school leaders have a clear rationale for their curriculum design. Following careful analysis of the barriers to learning which include some children having well- being needs, high levels of deprivation and disadvantage, limited social and cultural experiences, restricted vocabulary and poor understanding of social norms.
We aim to provide an excellent education for our children, which develops the highest possible standards. We have an ACE curriculum which has been developed by the academy. Everything children do in our academy is part of this curriculum. The total learning experience is designed to maximise achievement within the National Curriculum and develop skills, attitudes and attainment in the widest sense.
A – Aspiration
C – Collaboration
E – Experience
We aim to:
Provide children with opportunities to engage with the world beyond Chaddesden.
Ensure reading is a priority as we see this as the cornerstone of all learning.
Ensure our children have mathematical fluency and confidence in numeracy.
Give children high aspirations, opportunities to collaborate and a wide range of experiences. (The ACE curriculum)
Increase cultural capital by specifically giving children experiences of authors, artists, music and theatre.
Increase children’s knowledge of cultures and those from different faiths and backgrounds.
Provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all year groups which builds progressive skills and knowledge of which the children can base their future learning.
