The Park Gate Curriculum Journey

 

Park Gate Primary School have designed a rich, ambitious and enjoyable curriculum.

To maximise opportunities for our pupils we have crafted a curriculum which includes both discrete subject teaching and project-led learning. Our project-led learning, which is known as our Integrated Curriculum, subjects are taught within their own right, however, each project includes a hook, rich experiences and learning outcomes and provides a vehicle for high quality, purposeful writing.

We see our curriculum as a journey from Year R through to Year 6 with an expectation that all our pupils will be successful and ready for the next step of the journey. The steps pupils take are carefully planned to make connections to previous learning and across subjects. Subject knowledge and skills are mapped both horizontally across each year and vertically across the Park Gate journey.

Subject Leaders direct the specific subject intent and are advocates for ensuring a high quality, challenging curriculum.  Each Year Group team is directly involved in planning their curriculum, proactively engaging with the Park Gate Subject Leaders to ensure all children access high quality and exciting learning.
