Our Curriculum

The curriculum at FGS aims to eradicate inequality by providing all students with knowledge, skills and understanding in a manner designed to empower them to enhance their own lives and the lives of others. The curriculum is ambitious and, through our five health and well-being pathways, aims to inspire young people to have a thirst for knowledge, discover their talents and fulfil their potential through our founding principles of aspiration, empowerment and excellence.

We aspire for "Flixton family" students to develop a love of learning and reading, achieve academic success and grow into young people who are resilient, well-rounded individuals prepared for lifelong learning and the challenges beyond school. Whilst providing breadth, depth and reach, our curriculum also prepares students with the knowledge, skills and attributes required to make a positive contribution to society by being informed global citizens with strong cultural capital. It should enable all young people to have the fundamental life skills of literacy, numeracy, cognition, eloquence and digital competence that are the building blocks to maximise outcomes and enable them to follow an inspired career path.
The "Healthy Learning Journey" is a holistic approach to curriculum implementation designed to offer a high quality breadth to learning which optimises the academic, physical and emotional health of our students. We use this to create problem solvers who understand the importance of being healthy and active for life, feel happy, valued and safe and have a clear sense of individual identity.
