To cater for the complex and varied Personal, Social, Health and Emotional needs of the pupils at Victoria Lane Academy, and to ensure we promote British Values, we follow a comprehensive, progressive scheme of work – SCARF.

The SCARF program  and our character curriculum aim to develop 8 key traits (RESPECTS) in those who attend VLA:

• Resilience
• Empathy
• Self-awareness
• Positivity
• Excellence
• Communication
• Teamwork
• Safety

SCARF

The year is split into half terms, with the whole school (from Nursery to Year 6) covering the same themes at the same time. Click here to see our Long Term Plan for the whole school.

To see what teaching and learning looks like in each of the themes (Me & my Relationships, Valuing Difference, Keeping Safe, Rights Respecting, Being my Best, Growing & Changing) as children move through school and the spiral curriculum click here for our progression document.

Relationship and Sex Education makes up part of the SCARF programme. To see what/when statutory and non-statutory elements are covered, please clink on the individual overviews at the bottom of this page.
