Our curriculum incorporates carefully selected knowledge and skills that are brought to life in a way that is meaningful and exciting for children, promoting a life-long love of learning. It also provides the cultural capital that they need to be successful in learning as well as in their future lives.

The curriculum is organised in a way which enables children to revisit knowledge and build depth of knowledge and understanding as well as ensure they learn more and remember more. Through the way our curriculum is organised we help children to make meaning of the world, develop their vocabulary and broaden their horizons. Each subject and learning experience is content rich, with knowledge carefully selected and deliberately ambitious. Our curriculum is coherent and well planned, building on what has come before and will encourage learners to be curious about their learning. Our approach to supporting children who may need help to access the curriculum is through pre and post teaching, targeted interventions and adaptive teaching strategies. This makes sure those children have the knowledge and skills to succeed in accessing learning rather than having to be continuously catching up.

Commitment to safeguarding

Blackdown Education Partnership is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

IKB opened in September 2020 as a brand-new school on the recently built Longforth Farm development in Wellington. The school was built to cater to the growing numbers of families moving into the Wellington area, and particularly for this development. In 2020 IKB welcomed its first cohort of Reception children. Since then, the school has grown organically, one year group at a time to its current size of primary aged children from Reception to Year 5, inclusive of its thriving IKB Bright Sparks nursery provision.
