In Key Stage 1 we follow a varied curriculum that allows children to gain key skills and knowledge whilst exploring a wide range of topics .
Learning is organised into themes and taught over a two year cycle. Each theme lasts for half a term. Wherever possible, each curriculum subject is then linked to the current theme, including Science, DT, History, Geography, RE, PE, Music and Art.
Class-based learning is supported by trips and visitors, as well as theme days. Computing is taught as both a discrete subject, where we equip children with the basic skills they need but also as an integral learning tool across the curriculum.
