Our School Curriculum
Our school curriculum draws on the National Curriculum (2014) but is heavilly adapted to suit our learners.
In each year group, the following subjects are taught each day:
- English
- Mathematics
These subjects are taught each week:
- Science
- Computing
- Physical Education
- Music
- PSHE
The rest of the curriculum time is blocked into knowledge-rich enquiry topics based around the following subjects:
- History (Autumn 1 and Summer 2)
- RE (Autumn 2)
- Geography (Spring 1)
- Art (Spring 2)
- Reflect and Review (Summer 1)
More details about how each subject is taught and educational philosophy that underpins this can be found on the subject specific page. For a year-by-year breakdown, you can visit each year group's page.
A 3D Curriculum
Our school's curriculum model is that of a '3D Curriculum'. This focuses on making links between different topics and year groups rather than studying topics in isolation. There are three main types of link:
- Vertical Links: within a subject over the years
- Horizontal Links: between subjects in a year
- Diagonal Links: between year groups AND subjects
The document below shows how our knowledge-rich enquiry topics have been mapped out over the course of KS1 and KS2 to create links between key high-yield concepts (e.g. warfare, settlement or persecution).
