A curriculum for all

Led by the evidence, developed in the classroom

Our Primary & Secondary Curriculum covers fluency, wellbeing, history, geography, art and guided reading.

Developed in collaboration with teachers, leaders and our product design team, our curriculum is carefully sequenced, backed by research and design to offer schools access to a complete curriculum that supports teacher workload etc.

The Geography Curriculum

Through our geography curriculum we aim to instil in our pupils a fascination with the world around them, its people and their cultures. We believe that it is this knowledge that will equip our pupils to be the global citizens that we aspire them to be. We want our pupils to have a strong understanding of locational knowledge and an ability to use maps and conduct fieldwork as we feel that these are vital skills for future geographers.

The History Curriculum

Our history curriculum aims to give our pupils not only the knowledge but the skills to question the world in which they are growing up. Throughout the curriculum, pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world.

Guided Reading

Our Guided Reading curriculum focusses on the skills of both fluency and comprehension, first through unpicking vocabulary, before moving on to unlocking the meaning of whole texts through modelled fluent reading and critical discussion.

Our Curriculum Principles

Our schools' curriculums are broad, ambitious, exciting and engaging; and aligned with our Trust principles of curriculum design.

The Trust principles are taken from Dylan Wiliam's work on Principled Curriculum Design 2013.

All primary schools also have the option of using all or part of our fully resources curriculum package but this is not a requirement.

Balanced

The curriculum values intellectual, moral, spiritual, creative, emotional and physical development as equally important.

Rigorous

Subjects are taught with integrity, developing powerful, subject-specific ways of thinking rooted in each discipline.

Coherent

Clear connections are made across subjects and experiences, helping pupils build understanding over time.

Built for progression

Learning is carefully sequenced so pupils can see what getting better in a subject looks like and how knowledge builds.

Appropriate

Expectations are high but realistic, with challenge matched to pupils’ stage of development and understanding.

Focused

The curriculum prioritises what matters most, identifying the key ideas and concepts that underpin each subject.

Relevant

Learning connects to pupils’ lives and experiences, supporting informed choices and meaningful engagement.
