Curriculum – Programme of Topics – Primary

Primary topics have been carefully created to reflect learning contexts that are familiar to pupils (e.g. their home, shops, farm, park) to enhance meaningful learning opportunities for key skill development. Our curriculum strives to enable pupils to apply skills learned in school to other local settings and environments as this will promote better life outcomes
