In our college, all children and young people are experiencing a Values curriculum which places the learner at the centre of planning, learning and assessment. The Values curriculum considers their local and universal needs, recognising, valuing and building on the diversity and richness of the students’ existing knowledge and understanding, skills, values and experiences which already they bring to their learning.

All children and young people are learning within a planned, flexible and differentiated Values curriculum, enriching the student experience here at Brixham College. The Values curriculum sets learning within ‘real life contexts’ that affect children, young people, their families and our community. 

The Values curriculum is enabling children and young people to make and act on informed decisions supporting them to live happy, healthy lives, now and in the future. It does this by providing compelling, active learning that is enabling young people to develop concepts, knowledge and skills to be able to successfully manage themselves, their relationships, risk as well as the challenges and opportunities (predictable and unpredictable, known and unknown) that they may encounter during their time at Brixham College and beyond.
