Curriculum Plans

Each department devises a curriculum plan for each year group which lays out a sequenced knowledge rich curriculum (a summary is available from the Menu on the right hand side of this page). Each plan has been devised using our whole school curriculum principles. All departments have a more detailed plan containing the following information. If parents would like a copy of this then please email info@bircheshead.org.uk.

These maps detail:

  • the knowledge that pupils will learn by the end of the year / key stage.
  • the sequenced order in which knowledge is taught.
  • the rationale behind the sequence.
  • what prior knowledge this is based on.
  • how pupils are assessed and how learning is revisited.
  • how this links to other subjects including career pathways.
  • how this links to the Be More Curriculum.
  • key Vocabulary that children must know.
  • how this knowledge will be secured and deepened.
  • what pupils can do with this knowledge.
