Curriculum Overview

We believe the best way to inspire and motivate children, in their learning process, is through a creative, cross-curricular exploration of six “Big Ideas” which pupils will return to, throughout their life-long learning journey.

Identity

Diversity

Spacetime

Technology

Interdependence

Sustainability

Themes, such as “Inspirational People” or “Time Travellers”, link to these “Big Ideas” making learning memorable and ensuring children can access “the best that has been thought and said – helping to engender an appreciation of human creativity and achievement.”
