Curriculum Approach

Hillcrest’s Text Linked Curriculum (TLC) is very precious to us!  Our dedicated staff team has spent many, many hours creating and developing a truly inspirational and bespoke curriculum with reading at its heart.  

To promote this love of reading, our curriculum bases each learning experience around key quality texts that are carefully chosen, with activities designed to make links between concepts, enabling learners to maximise and reach their potential. 

Our dedicated staff ensure that the curriculum exceeds all of our statutory obligations, whilst providing a broad and balanced learning experience for our pupils, complying with your duties in the Equality Act 2010 and the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014.  We make the curriculum accessible for those with disabilities or SEN by adapting whole class teaching topics to be stage-appropriate.
