Expert Curriculum

EXPERT:

The aim of our EXPERT curriculum is for children become experts across a range of subjects, and these form the basis of the wider curriculum. Expert lenses help children to be Scientists, Designers, Historians, Geographers and Artists during sessions each week. There is a focused approach to knowledge development and skills within this, and a strong focus on vocabulary acquisition and development. The wider curriculum is developed in this way, whilst providing enrichment opportunities for English and Maths as appropriate.

For children to make meaning within EXPERT, the Golden Threads of learning helps them make meaning in their learning through the concept of Lives. The Golden Thread links their life, to that of others; and there is a consideration on how life has developed and changed. Life is the Golden Thread that links all learning together -  to the individual, personal ambition, key achievements and the wider world both now and through the ages.

We follow the progression of skills and knowledge in the KAPOW schemes of learning and personalise these to meet the needs of the children and core focus on Language, Learning, Lives.
