Curriculum Highlights

The Elmwood curriculum is planned to ensure cohesion, coverage and creativity and is based on National Curriculum objectives. Teachers are expected to consider the whole year as a learning journey first to link and plan individual lessons. Weekly planning is in the form of lesson slides and should be personalised by class teachers. Individual lesson plans must include: learning objective phrased as a question, prior and next learning, key vocabulary from knowledge organisers, and explicit purpose. Exit points at the end of each term provide a key purpose to demonstrate learning.
