Intent – What are Children Taught & When?
An important aspect of curriculum intent is what children are taught and when. We are committed to ensuring our children learn knowledge and concepts for all subjects in depth through carefully planned sequences for each subject.
We have worked collaboratively across the Federation to design our curriculum map that ensures effective progression within mixed age classes.
