Our curriculum is topic based and works in a two year cycle.
All subjects are planned discretely and where appropriate link with the term’s topic to enable children to make learning connections. Within each subject there is a carefully planned set of skills and knowledge progression which are linked to Ten Big Ideas. This helps children foster learning networks and reinforces the acquisition of a deep body of knowledge and transferable skills.
