Our curriculum is taught through 12 subjects or areas.  For our youngest learners - and those who benefit from a play and sensory-based curriculum -these areas are taught in a connected cross curricular way.  Older students may be taught through distinct curriculum subjects, according to their need.

Each of our curriculum subjects or areas has a Curriculum Intent Statement, which defines our overall goals for how the subject or area will be taught, how that will contribute towards each child’s overall development and what key learning will be provided to prepare each child for the next stage of their education.

Each subject or area has a Curriculum Progression, based on the skills and knowledge children will be expected to acquire over time, through their learning in that subject and area.  Those Curriculum Progressions are used by staff to plan learning and next steps for each child.

• Communication, Language and Literacy (including Reading, Writing and Maths)
