At Evolve, we are justly proud of the individualised and personalised curriculum which enables all our pupils to succeed.

The aim of the provision is to provide greater understanding of student needs, to enable them to become more successful with in education, and ultimately to retake their place in their home school. Consilium Evolve caters for students who have a range of vulnerabilities, including anxious learners with a history of persistent absence or non-attendance (emotionally based school avoidance) and are actively working with the mental health service.

Consilium Evolve offers a full-time placement with a broad and balanced curriculum, with therapeutic pathways to support students and parents. Our classrooms are alive with discovery, inquiry, critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration. Teachers talk less. Students talk (and think) more. Lessons have an explicit purpose, guided by learning targets for which students take ownership and responsibility. Student engagement strategies and activities serve to differentiate instruction and maintain high expectations to bring out the best in all students, cultivating a culture of high achievement. 

Our approach to curriculum makes standards come alive for students by connecting learning to real-world issues and needs. Academically rigorous, project-based learning expeditions, case studies, projects, fieldwork, and service learning inspire students to think and work as professionals, contributing high-quality work to authentic audiences beyond the classroom. 

Key Stage 4 students are supported to be ready for the next phase of their education at post 16.

Key Stage 2

Our Key Stage 2 curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity, rebuild confidence in learning and foster a strong sense of belonging. Rooted in high-quality children’s literature, it provides a coherent, ambitious and engaging learning journey that supports both academic development and personal growth.

The curriculum follows a carefully sequenced two-year rolling programme, with a distinct theme for each half term. Themes such as Time Travellers, Space and Beyond and Explorers and Adventurers provide rich, immersive contexts for learning. Each theme is driven by a core text, enabling meaningful connections across subjects. For example, through the study of Shackleton’s Journey, students explore perimeter, area, position and direction in mathematics to calculate expedition distances, and apply their understanding of negative numbers to Antarctic temperatures. In science, they investigate habitats, adaptation and survival, alongside the study of light and light pollution. Within Language, Communication and the Arts, students examine shadow, refraction and visual storytelling through creative expression. This integrated approach ensures knowledge is purposeful, interconnected and memorable.

The curriculum is intentionally structured to begin each academic year with themes centred on belonging, identity and wellbeing, establishing secure foundations for learning. As the year progresses, learning moves from the personal, to the local community, to the wider world, and finally towards future aspirations. This progression supports pupils in developing self-awareness, cultural understanding and ambition.

Across the two-year cycle, subjects from all pathways are balanced thoughtfully, including literacy, science, humanities, STEM, creativity and PSHE. The structure allows for extended projects, depth of study and opportunities for reflection, while also ensuring key knowledge and skills are revisited and strengthened over time. This repeated but deepened coverage is particularly supportive within mixed-age classes, enabling all learners to build confidence and secure understanding.
