Our Curriculum Plans

At St Alphege we follow a bespoke curriculum underpinned by the ABC core skills; Active learning, Basic skills and Creative thinking. The skills are partnered with the Characteristics of effective learning and built on throughout our foundation subjects from Reception up to Year 2. Our whole school approach means that each year group has the same Termly overarching theme in which the progression of skills is at its core.

Terms 1 & 2 have a Geography focus, which will develop skills such as;

enquiry
making comparisons
identification and fieldwork skills
showing empathy
making observations

Terms 3 & 4 have a history focus, which will develop skills such as;

planning and researching
analysing and evaluating
supporting conclusions
seeing things from different perspectives

Terms 5 & 6 will have an art and DT focus, which will develop skills such as;

problem solving
adapting ideas
working towards a goal
showing resilience
organisation

Below are our Year group Termly overviews for Term 1 & 2: Better together.
