Curriculum Intent

The purpose of the curriculum in REAL subjects at Oasis Brislington is to challenge students to improve themselves by focusing on four areas of development.

Personal confidence - REAL is designed to inspire students to develop personal confidence through building resilience and problem solving in all subject areas through exploration, experimentation and without fear of failure in a safe and supportive environment.

Creative skills - The studying of each subject exposes students to the journey of the mastery of creative skills and techniques which lead to personal expression and innovation. We challenge students to respond to the world around them and find ways to communicate their ideas through thinking, writing, designing, making and reflecting.

Aspirations – REAL subjects encourage the development of emotional intelligence where students are able to recognise and fulfil their potential through experiencing success. Having the highest aspirations for future plans and understanding how what they are learning can be applied in real world contexts is the foundation of learning. REAL subjects open the door to future career pathways by always looking outwards.

Cultural capital – in order to inspire creativity we study REAL subjects to develop curiosity of the world around us developing understanding of what came before; a sense of history and the cultural and social context that surrounds the creation and development of work in all subject areas. By exposing students to experiences in the real world it is possible to think bigger, engage with different cultures and ideas and become independent thinkers and doers.
