Implementation

Our curriculum is delivered through clear, sequential progressions from Early Years to Year 6, ensuring knowledge builds over time. Subject leaders design whole-school progression maps that develop core knowledge, vocabulary, and disciplinary thinking (e.g., thinking like a scientist or historian). Lessons address misconceptions, strengthen connections, and focus on big-picture learning rather than isolated topics.

Cross-Curricular Approach
Learning is structured into cross-curricular projects to create meaningful subject links. Where connections aren’t possible, subjects are taught discretely using schemes like Language Angels (French) and Charanga (Music). Science, Geography, or History often lead projects, with other subjects integrated where relevant.

Engaging, Student-Centered Learning
Before starting a project, children explore key vocabulary and visuals and generate questions to guide learning. Teachers assess prior knowledge and misconceptions, using this to plan engaging lessons that spark curiosity. Projects follow a learning journey, culminating in a final celebration (e.g., a class museum or published work).

High-Quality Teaching Strategies
Lessons begin with ‘Remember 4, Remember More’—a recap activity covering previous learning (last lesson, last week, last project, last year). Each lesson starts with a question, which children should answer by the end. Effective modelling and scaffolding support independent learning.

Enrichment & Inclusivity
Children engage in WOW activities (trips, visits, project days) and participate in Arts, Science, and Sports Weeks to enhance learning. All teachers ensure an inclusive curriculum in line with the Equality Act 2010 and SEND regulations. More details are available in the SEND Information Report and Equalities Policy.

EYFS
Early Years learning follows the EYFS framework, focusing on:

• Prime Areas: Communication & Language, Physical Development, Personal, Social & Emotional Development
• Specific Areas: Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, Expressive Arts & Design
