Our curriculum design began with History and is designed chronologically through time and space. To help the children to remember their learning and make meaningful connections we created our History timeline. This begins with the royal family and the coronation of King Charles, where our Year 1 children start their History journey. As the children grow they move further back in time, until they reach Year 6 and the Stone Age.
All other Foundation Subjects are woven through the History curriculum making meaningful links where appropriate.
This approach allows greater breadth and depth of knowledge for our children.
All of the Foundation subjects have a knowledge organiser like the above example. Each box is approximately one lesson of learning and this learning is linked to our school values.
The children know exactly what they are learning in each lesson and are encouraged to self assess their understanding. Highlighting the values box in green if they understand or yellow if they need more support.
The children are encouraged to be creative and imaginative in the way that they present their learning. Every child's book is different and individual to them.
