Curriculum
In designing our curriculum, we have aimed to combine the use of overarching historical and geographical projects with clear yearly progression in skills and knowledge for each subject area.

Every half term, each class will have an alternating history and geography project. As well as providing an enjoyable and engaging focus for children’s learning, these projects combine to ensure that there is full coverage of the National Curriculum across the school in these subjects. Alongside these projects, children will follow subject-specific progression in all other areas. Cross-curricular links between subjects will be made where these provide meaningful ways of extending and deepening learning. In all subjects we seek out practical, varied and memorable learning experiences.

Our aim is to provide children with a broad, balanced and enjoyable curriculum that engages, interests and extends them and is, at the same time, underpinned by a clear progression in skills and knowledge for each subject area.
