We use Cornerstones Curriculum Maestro as a starting point from which to personalise the planning and resourcing of our wider curriculum. We believe that children deserve a broad and balanced curriculum that enables them to develop a deep understanding of each subject and the interconnections between them. We deliver many of the subjects in our wider curriculum (Geography, History, Science, DT, Art and some English) through themed Learning Journeys.
Themes lasting a term (half a term in Early Years) are designed to engage and inspire pupils. Cross-curricular links are developed to promote and deepen children’s knowledge and skills building on learning across subject specialisms. These themes are planned using the framework of the National Curriculum and the EYFS curriculum. As Curriculum Maestro themes do not provide full coverage of the National Curriculum, this approach is supplemented by discrete lessons in English, Maths, RE, PE, PSHE & RSE, Early reading, MFL, Music and Computing.
