We have worked hard to ensure that our curriculum is exciting, challenging and informative for all of our pupils.  Therefore, the objectives behind our curriculum are as follows:

Intent

• Allow children to make connections across their learning and the curriculum.
• Systematic approach to teaching vocabulary to all children.
• Planning succinctly for the knowledge, skills and understanding we want the children to learn in each specific topic.
• Offer children the ability to talk about their learning, through questions asked that allows them to demonstrate their understanding.

Implementation

• Fewer topics so children can now learn more in depth in each individual topic.
• Plan for the knowledge, skills and understanding that the children will gain from each topic.
• Plan vocabulary that the children will be taught, based on three tiers, so that all children’s vocabulary is being extended.
• Teachers support as many connections to be made across the curriculum, so teaching is not seen as stand alone.

Impact

• Greater connections being made for children to see how the curriculum is interwoven.
• Greater vocabulary being planned for.
• Children able to talk about their learning, in a way that demonstrates their understanding.

We have then created a two year rolling program of topics, as detailed on the links below:
