Curriculum Plans – Subjects

Anyone wishing to discuss the Drugs / RSHE curriculum in more detail or wishing to see the curriculum resources used should contact the school office with the subject header – Drugs and RSHE Curriculum – request for further information.

 

These plans show what your child will be learning in each subject in each term.

They can help you to know what your child will be learning about so that you can:

  • Discuss with them what they have been learning

  • Consider family trip and visits that may support their learning

  • Ensure that they are keeping up to date with their work

Should you have any questions about our curriculum please contact either the leader for the curriculum area, or Duncan Smith, Deputy Headteacher.
