Our curriculum framework helps support progression and acts as a stimulus to involve learner interests in experiences. We aim to make the children aware of their immediate environment and progressively of the wider world and to appreciate their own heritage and that of other cultures. We link pupil learning in with the skills they will need for life, learning and work.  Last year we participated in a local ‘Dragon’s Den’ event, where pupils pitched their business ideas to a panel of judges.  At the start of each topic, the teachers lead a ‘brain storming’ session with the children, during which they ask them what they would like to learn about within that topic, which often proves very interesting!  They revisit this at the end of the topic to evaluate what they have learned.
