These Knowledge Boards are linked here: KNOWLEDGE BOARDS
Subject Specific Accountability to National Curriculum
Some aspects of our teaching are single subject based but our integrated subject approach ensures that we have the expected general National Curriculum Coverage as outlined below:

Year Group Curriculum Planning
Each Year Group takes the Thematics, Knowledge Boards and Subject Accountability for National Curriculum to develop a well co-ordinated, sequenced curriculum for the classroom. The Year Group Curriculum Planning can be viewed in our Google Drive here: Year 1 Curriculum Folder
