Six pillars underpin our service

Curriculum

The Oxford Smart Curriculum is informed by research and creates a seamless path for students to ensure an easier and more structured transition from KS3 to KS4.

Knowledge and skills are carefully sequenced to bring meaning and to support students in developing a deep understanding of a subject.

Resources

A comprehensive set of print and digital resources is available to support the teaching and learning of the Oxford Smart Curriculum.

The resources work seamlessly with all the Oxford Smart components, so everything connects to save you time.

Assessment

Auto-marked and paper-based assessments provide data and insights so you can check and track student progress effectively.

This is the first time that curriculum and assessment have been developed in tandem, saving you valuable time by supporting responsive teaching, learning and next steps.

Automated next steps

Automated next steps are personal to each student, based on performance in assessments, to target the content that they need to lock in or to extend their knowledge.

Students are moved on only when they are secure in their knowledge of the curriculum, with scaffolded support provided so that they feel confident and motivated to progress.
