Alongside this, pupils will access a Foundation Curriculum based on half-termly topics, in Humanities (History and Geography), Art and Design Technology, Music, ICT/Computing, Physical Education and Languages. Each Term, parents/carers will receive a Curriculum overview of the key learning objectives in each curriculum area.

These centre on the key areas of: Information and Communication Technology, Arts and Culture, Global Citizenship and the Rights Respecting Agenda, Outdoor Learning, Sport and Exercise. You will see these outlined in each class’ termly Curriculum Map.
