Topic
The table below outlines the topics to be taught in 2020-21. Due to the disruption caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, our curriculum has undergone significant editing, re-organisation and re-sequencing in order to best recover any lost learning. It is for this reason that the same unit may appear twice over the course of this year. These amendments will ensure that by the end of the academic year 2020-21, we will be able to resume our normal curriculum offer.
The topic themes and content have been carefully and deliberately constructed to ensure that all of the requirements of the National Curriculum are met. The sequence in which new content is introduced ensures that pupils acquire the necessary specific knowledge and skills through revision of themes and concepts to make subsequent learning meaningful.
Medium Term overviews and Knowledge Organisers for each term have been organised into year groups in the drop down menus linked to this page.
