Connected Curriculum

Starting a new curriculum is not easy. The EdisonLearning Connected Curriculum provides a solution that is 'ready to use' yet is fully flexible and adaptable to meet the needs and contexts of your school and learners.

The Connected Curriculum is a structured framework of half termly themed Learning Units for each primary school year group. It covers Foundation subjects and Science and is fully mapped to cover the National Curriculum requirements leaving you with peace of mind over statutory coverage of the orders.

Our approach is designed to get 'teachers' creative juices flowing' whilst providing them with the support and framework that is needed for a consistently delivered and planned whole-school curriculum. Robust coverage of the National Curriculum is, of course, vital, but what we really want is for learners and teachers to go home everyday excited and buzzing about their day.

Many schools have been 'caught between the curriculum reviews' and are waiting to change their approach. If you are tired of the QCA Unit approach and are looking for an exciting starting point to create a new curriculum in your school, this could be for you. Schools that we have worked with have felt reassured that when the time comes for a curriculum change or review from government, that their curriculum will still be fit for purpose. If any re-mapping needs to be done as a result of new requirements, it is all part of our service.

We know that schools can struggle to find the time and capacity to plan and develop a curriculum that links the subjects in a robust and meaningful way so let us help you!

Curriculum Feedback

Good teaching and a stimulating curriculum mean that pupils thoroughly enjoy their learning.

"The stimulating and well-organised curriculum is one of the reasons why pupils enjoy coming to school…

The school is well into the development of an integrated curriculum where broad themes or topics are chosen to draw on pupils’ interests. Pupils were enthralled when they created animation films in the computer room, for example. A good range of well-attended after-school clubs, visits and visitors further enhance the curriculum.”

The pupils commented how much the curriculum has improved. Inspectors agree.

Stimulating topics link subjects well, include rich and varied experiences and put learning into context.

A detailed plan shows that a wide range of opportunities to promote pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is included in each topic. Books are carefully chosen both to link with the topic and deepen pupils’ love of reading. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are learning about bears.

Nursery children were excited by the prospect of a ‘bear hunt’ and thought carefully about what they would need for the hunt and how to carry it. The adults gave the children plenty of scope to explore and experiment, making bags of different shapes and sizes and then working out what to do when the bag was not strong enough.

"The school provides a very rich curriculum by offering a breadth of learning opportunities that takes it well beyond National Curriculum requirements.”
