Foundation Subjects

Our foundation subjects provide children with a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum that develops knowledge, skills and curiosity across a wide range of disciplines. Each subject has its own carefully sequenced curriculum, enabling pupils to build knowledge progressively while making meaningful links across their learning. In many of our foundation subjects, learning is organised into focused three-week topics. This approach allows children to immerse themselves in a particular area of learning, deepen their understanding and develop their knowledge and skills through a clear sequence of learning. The extended focus also provides greater opportunities for pupils to plan, create, refine and evaluate their work, helping them to think critically, solve problems and take pride in the learning process.
