Our schools' curriculums are broad, ambitious, exciting and engaging; and aligned with our Trust principles of curriculum design.
The Trust principles are taken from Dylan Wiliam's work on Principled Curriculum Design 2013.
All primary schools also have the option of using all or part of our fully resources curriculum package but this is not a requirement.

Trust Principles:
- Balanced: the curriculum promotes intellectual, moral, spiritual, aesthetic, creative, emotional and physical development as equally important
- Rigorous: the curriculum develops powerful, subject-specific ways of thinking; the subject matter is taught in a way that is faithful to its discipline
- Coherent: the curriculum makes explicit connections and links between the different subjects and experiences encountered
- Vertical integration: the curriculum focuses on progression by carefully sequencing knowledge. It provides clarity about what getting better at the subject means
- Appropriate: the curriculum looks to avoid making unreasonable demands by matching level of challenge to a pupil’s current level of maturity/knowledge
- Focus: the curriculum seeks to keep the curriculum manageable by teaching the most important knowledge; it identifies the big ideas or key concepts within a subject
- Relevance: the curriculum seeks to connect the valued outcomes of a curriculum to the pupils being taught it; provides opportunities for pupils to make informed choices.
Wiliam, D. (2013) Principled Curriculum Design.
Develop in collaboration with teachers, leaders and our product design team, our curriculum is carefully sequenced, backed by research and design to offer schools access to a complete curriculum that supports teacher workload etc.

The Geography Curriculum
Through our geography curriculum we aim to instil in our pupils a fascination with the world around them, its people and their cultures. We believe that it is this knowledge that will equip our pupils to be the global citizens that we aspire them to be. We want our pupils to have a strong understanding of locational knowledge and an ability to use maps and conduct fieldwork as we feel that these are vital skills for future geographers.
The History Curriculum
Our history curriculum aims to give our pupils not only the knowledge but the skills to question the world in which they are growing up. Throughout the curriculum, pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world.
Guided Reading
Our Guided Reading curriculum focusses on the skills of both fluency and comprehension, first through unpicking vocabulary, before moving on to unlocking the meaning of whole texts through modelled fluent reading and critical discussion.
