About

Pupils continue to be taught subjects discreetly with a growing focus on developing their understanding of the world. By now pupils will start to see the vertical threads within our curriculum such as immigration and migration in our history curriculum. French and swimming continue to be taught formally.  Pupils take part in the statutory multiplication check.
