We plan our topic-based curriculum over a four year cycle to ensure good coverage of all the different topics, and to prevent children from repeating any work.
We currently work on a four year plan of topics covering a different topic every term. During 2021-2022, these topics are:
Autumn - Explorers and Inventors
Spring - We are British
Summer - Kings and Queens
We then plan in more detail what we will cover in each of the topics, for each of the subjects.
Our school uses:

Lexia is an online spelling and reading resource which can be accessed at home and in school. Children work, independently, to develop critical reading and language skills through individualised and motivating learning paths. All pupils, regardless of their skill level, work at their own pace and the teacher is notified when they require support. Our children are motivated by their own success and have their own personalised learning paths.
