We believe that pupils at Rowley Park Academy need to let RIP with their learning! Unless learning is full-on and immersive, pupils will not make the outstanding progress that we expect and demand of all of them to make.
Victoria Academies Trust’s NICER curriculum is built around a series of social enterprise learning challenges.

Regional
Making learning real and relevant by giving it a local feel and flavour. It’s about leaving a lasting legacy on the whole wide world.
We asked the children to tell us what they want to have experienced by the time they leave our school. They came up with a list of 50 and so we built the NICER curriculum around them. Whether it’s riding on a donkey or stroking a reindeer, designing a castle or making pizza, being a knight for the day or writing your own TV show, the NICER curriculum will ensure that learning RIPs.
As a school we have a focused approach to the delivery of the core subjects of Maths, English, Science and PE and ensuring that children achieve the highest standards. Children are able to take the skills developed in these subjects and utilize them within the context of the NICER Curriculum.
