Long Term Curriculum Plan
Long Term Curriculum Plan
We have adapted our Curriculum over the past two years in order to recognise the work we are doing on Metacognition and Cognitive Principles. This ties in with our curriculum drivers which are listed on the Long Term Curriculum page.
A break down of expectations across each year group in each subject is on the Curriculum Overview page. There you will find a link to each subject.
We have used the National Curriculum and Chris Quigley Essentials as a basis for our themes and will be working within the Milestones for Key Stage One and Two classes.
