Who we are, and what we do

Our Primary Knowledge Curriculum subjects

We value the unique identity of each academic discipline. Through our curriculum, children build both the substantive knowledge and concepts central to a subject, as well as the disciplinary knowledge – how scholars arrive at this knowledge. We currently offer planning and materials in English, EYFS, DT, history, geography, art and science.

Our Curriculum

“I started the Primary Knowledge Curriculum for Early Years in September and couldn’t imagine life without it! The units for the Reception class provide a vast opportunity for knowledge and learning. My children have thoroughly enjoyed learning about each, and every topic covered, from Transport to Kings and Queens. The high level of vocabulary has deepened their oracy skills and allowed them to access learning which they may not have done previously. There is flexibility in the planning with ideas to develop and use in class as well as further enhance for your own setting. I have had excellent communication and support from the EYFS Team which has been invaluable. Thank you!”
