Cultural Capital

Cultural capital is the essential knowledge that children need to prepare them for their future success. At The Beacon we think of this as giving our children and young people the best possible range of experiences in education and as extra-curricular opportunities that we can.   We aim to give them a rich and varied range of opportunities that help develop social skills, knowledge, behaviours and resilience.  We want them to be valued and valuable members of society and to fulfil their considerable potential on an individual basis and as members of the wider Beacon community. The following pages give you a flavour of the range of activities and experiences on offer at The Beacon .

Understanding the World

The theme for our third curriculum day was ‘Understanding the World’.  The whole school on this day explored topics in History, Geography, Ethics,  Art, Design Technology and Science.  We looked at how all of these subjects help us better understand the world we live in and make a valued and valuable contribution to our communities.  You will see from the images to follow that we learned a lot and we had fun along the way.

Our next curriculum theme day is ‘Healthy lifestyles’ and we cannot wait!
