The Connected Curriculum

Our curriculum design is based on evidence from cognitive science; three main principles underpin it:

1. Learning is most effective with spaced repetition.
2. Interleaving helps pupils to make links between their learning and aids long-term retention.
3. Retrieval of previously learned content is frequent and regular, which increases both storage and retrieval strength.

‘Our Diverse Island (and its influences)’

Our Spring term theme aims to engage the children to reflect and celebrate the diversity we have in our country and our school and look back on what has influenced our country throughout history.

Despite the challenges of working remotely, pupils have become enthusiastic about the school theme and engaged well with their online learning.

Below you can see the curriculum maps for the Spring term and what our pupils have said so far. Our focus is History
