Curriculum
We inspire our children's learning through a creative curriculum, ensuring our pupils experience a wide breadth of study and have, by the end of each key stage, long-term memory of an ambitious body of substantive and disciplinary knowledge.
We have developed a creative and thematic approach to learning that maps knowledge to the Primary National Curriculum to ensure comprehensive coverage of national expectations. Subject leaders from across the Futura Learning Partnership have also worked together to ensure breadth of coverage of the curriculum, ensuring key knowledge is learnt in specific year groups to ensure further knowledge can build upon this.
Please also look at our curriculum section for specific subject information.
