As a small school with mixed classes, planning is complex. We have spent some time developing our long term plans in line with the curriculum and to meet our children's needs. Please see below for details of coverage across the Key Stages.
To ensure a broad and balanced curriculum, we block some subjects together across a 'curriculum week'. For example, in November, children across the school develop their D.T. skills by designing, planning and evaluating Christmas decorations.
