Knowledge-Rich, Diversity-Led Curriculum 

Topics and Themes

Our curriculum is designed to develop a capacity to accommodate new knowledge, building on prior knowledge and experiences, resulting in curious minds. 

Learning in Years 1 to 6 is based on a cross curricular topic approach. Our topics incorporate all aspects of the National Curriculum. We aim to bring our topics alive through trips, creative work and, above all, purpose and enjoyment. There are whole-school threads running through our curriculum too which include studying ecology, health and well being and the arts.  In the Summer term we make good use of learning outdoors, often with visits to Walthamstow Marshes, the Walthamstow Wetlands Centre and the River Lea.

Though we teach a connected curriculum, we believe that children have the right to the knowledge, skills and applications in the real world that each subject has to offer. Aspects of different subjects will be taught through specific subject-based learning.

We regularly review our curriculum offer to ensure that it is relevant, engaging and challenging.
