Maths and English are taught each morning. These lessons follow the objectives set out in the Cambridge Curriculum and tailored to our context by our Maths and English coordinators to ensure continuity through the years, and progression from one term to the next and one year to the next.
Other subjects are taught through enquiry-based topics. Science, History, Geography, Computing, Art, Design Technology, PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education), and Global Perspectives are taught through these topics.
At the start of each school year (from Year 3) students explore how learning takes place. Through these units they will learn how to get the most from their learning opportunities and recognise their own personal learning styles. This understanding will help the students make the best of their learning experiences in the upcoming year.
Our Primary School curriculum is organised according to the two Key Stages of the Cambridge Curriculum, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Key Stage 1 covers classes in Years 1 and 2, children between 5 and 7 years old; Key Stage 2 covers classes in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6, children between 8 and 11 years old.

When students move to Key Stage 1, they continue their journey of discovery; discovery of themselves, others and the world around them. Young learners continue to develop academically, physically and socially.
To help students make the transition from Reception to Year 1, we encourage similar Early Years practice for at least the first term of Year One. KS1 curriculum follows Cambridge standards in Literacy, Numeracy, Science, History, Geography, Design Technology, PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education), and Global Perspectives.
The Global Perspectives programme develops the skills of research, analysis, evaluation, reflection, collaboration and communication. The skills are taught through a wide range of topics using a personal, local and global perspective. Teachers help students to look at a variety of global issues or topics that give a range of contexts.

Circle Time is a popular activity adopted in Key Stage 1 to help develop positive relationships between children. It aims to give them tools to engage with and listen to each other. The whole class takes part in Circle Time at the same time, led by their teacher, who sits in the circle. The circle encourages unity, respect, turn-taking and working together towards a shared vision
Specialist lessons complement the delivery of the Key Stage 1 curriculum and include Second Language, Music, Art, Computing (ICT), Thai, and Physical Education.
Ongoing assessments and observations inform teachers of areas of focus for future planning and learning experiences whilst allowing teachers to successfully track and monitor student attainment and progress.
Key Stage Two includes Years 3 to 6. We follow Cambridge standards in English, Math, Science and Global Perspectives. Alongside this, students study the Thai Ministry of Education curriculum in Thai language, Culture and Social Studies.
We continue to provide an enjoyable, interactive kind of education and a rich and engaging learning experience where our young learners continue to grow and develop into self-confident and independent learners while showing more awareness of themselves, people and the world around them.
The following are taught by subject specialists:
- Visual Arts
- English as Alternative Language (EAL) if required
- English Language Support (ELS) if required
- Foreign Modern Languages (Mandarin, French, Spanish, and German)
- Music
- Physical Education
- Swimming
- Thai or Thai as a Foreign Language (TFL)

The children’s learning is assessed continually to ensure their learning needs are met, and summative assessments are made at the end of each term in Maths, Sciences, and English to ensure progress has been made and to help identify any areas in specific need of attention. The results of assessments are reported to parents in written reports at the end of Term 1, Term 2, and Term 3.
At the end of Key Stage 2, students sit for their Cambridge Primary Checkpoint exams which are designed to assess learners at the end of Cambridge Primary. It is available in English, mathematics, Science and Cambridge Global Perspectives.
Learning technologies, such as iPads, laptops or the computer labs are used to help support learning and teaching across all subjects. The skills needed to utilise these resources are taught through our topic work. In addition to these skills the students are also taught how computers work, and how we can program them, through Computing lessons.
Art & Design
The subject gives pupils a platform to express themselves, sparking imagination, creativity and developing transferable skills. Pupils explore and push boundaries to become reflective, critical and decisive thinkers. They learn how to articulate personal responses to their experiences.
Pupils develop creative skills that will help with many aspects of their future learning and development. Pupils:
- Learn to see themselves as artists and become increasingly reflective and independent
- Develop the skills needed to express creative ideas and to communicate visually
- Understand their place and the place of others in a creative, innovative and interconnected world.
We teach Cambridge Primary Art & Design through a broad range of investigative, art-making and reflective activities. These include several study areas, for example painting, print making, model making or digital art. This course supports progression to Cambridge Lower Secondary Art & Design.
There are no Cambridge Primary Progression Tests or Checkpoint for this subject. The emphasis of this course is for teachers to give pupils formative feedback on the skills they want them to develop. This can be through discussion, observation and lesson outputs where teachers discuss with pupils ‘what went well’ and how they can improve further, so that pupils can reflect on and improve their performance.
Primary Digital Literacy (ICT)
Digital literacy is an essential skill for learners of all ages, including the youngest primary pupils. The digital world allows us to connect, collaborate, innovate and discover new information on an ever-broadening scale, and pupils must be able to effectively use technology from the very beginning of their educational journey.
Pupils develop the digital skills that will help with many aspects of their future learning and development. They will:
- Understand their place, and the place of others, in an interconnected world and make educated decisions about the information that they encounter online.
- Develop knowledge and understanding that will allow them to respond to, and evaluate technology of the future.
- Develop skills to create increasingly sophisticated documents and presentations.
- Learn how to become positive contributors to the digital world.
- Use digital technology safely and protect their own physical and emotional wellbeing.
We teach Digital Literacy as a separate subject with a specialist teacher and ensure that our course supports progression to Cambridge Lower Secondary Digital Literacy.
There is no Cambridge Primary Progression Test or Checkpoint for this subject.
The emphasis of this course is for teachers to give pupils formative feedback on the skills they want them to develop. This can be through discussion, observation and lesson outputs where teachers discuss with pupils ‘what went well’ and how they can improve further, so that pupils can reflect on, and improve, their performance.
Primary English
Cambridge Primary English promotes an enquiry-based approach, developing pupils’ confidence, creativity and intellectual engagement. This subject is designed for pupils who have English as a first language.
Pupils develop English skills they can apply for a range of different purposes and audiences in everyday situations and in study. They learn to communicate confidently and effectively and develop the critical skills to respond to a range of information, media and texts with understanding and enjoyment. They develop a first language competency in English.
The curriculum framework covers knowledge, skills and understanding in the three strands:
- Reading.
- Writing.
- Speaking and listening.
The course supports progression to Cambridge Lower Secondary English.
Cambridge Primary English is taught using a broad range of activities that promote experience, reflection and improvement. Recommended fiction genres, poetry, playscripts and non-fiction text types provide authentic contexts for skills development.
The learning objectives in the three strands of the curriculum framework support an integrated approach to teaching and learning reading, writing, and speaking and listening skills. Grammar is embedded within the reading and writing strands to promote a meaningful learning experience where pupils both explore grammatical concepts through reading and apply them in their own writing.
Cambridge Primary English is assessed through Cambridge Primary Progression Tests and Cambridge Primary Checkpoint.
Cambridge Primary Progression Tests provide detailed information about the performance of each pupil for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the curriculum. The tests help teachers to compare the strengths and weaknesses of individuals and groups and share feedback with pupils and parents. They are marked by teachers in our school and come with a unique reporting and analysis tool.
Cambridge Primary Checkpoint English tests skills, knowledge and understanding at the end of the primary programme. Tests are marked in Cambridge to provide an international benchmark of learner performance. Feedback reports show how a pupil has performed in relation to the curriculum, their learning group, the whole school, and against all pupils who have taken tests in that series around the world.
Primary English as a Second Language
This subject is designed for pupils who have English as a second language. Developed in conjunction with Cambridge Assessment English, it is based on the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), used across the world to map learners’ progress in English.
Pupils will learn to communicate confidently and effectively and develop the critical skills to respond to a range of information, media and texts. Cambridge Primary English as a Second Language develops a solid foundation for the further study of English as a second language, and for study through the medium of English.
Divided into six stages, the Curriculum Framework covers knowledge, skills and understanding in five strands:
- Reading.
- Writing.
- Use of English.
- Listening.
- Speaking.
The course supports progression to Cambridge Lower Secondary English as a Second Language. When at appropriate assessment points students achieve sufficient proficiency in English as a Second Language, they can progress to Cambridge Primary English or Cambridge Lower Secondary English.
The programme is taught through an integrated approach to planning and teaching to develop effective communication skills in English. The five strands of the Curriculum Framework, and their respective learning objectives, work together to support the development of knowledge, skills and understanding.
The Use of English strand provides pupils with the linguistic features they need to be able to understand and use when engaging with the language receptively (Reading and Listening) and productively (Writing and Speaking). Pupils will revisit and engage with language at deeper levels and in different contexts.
Cambridge Primary English as a Second Language is assessed both through Cambridge Primary Progression Tests and Cambridge Primary Checkpoint.
Cambridge Primary Progression Tests provide detailed information about the performance of each pupil for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the curriculum. The tests help teachers to compare the strengths and weaknesses of individuals and groups and share feedback with pupils and parents. They are marked by teachers in the school and come with a unique reporting and analysis tool.
Cambridge Primary Checkpoint English as a Second Language tests skills, knowledge and understanding at the end of the primary programme. Tests are marked in Cambridge to provide an international benchmark of pupil performance. Feedback reports show how a pupil has performed in relation to the curriculum, their learning group, the whole school, and against all pupils who have taken tests in that series around the world.
Primary Humanities (Geography & History)
We will use guidelines on Geography and History from the National Curriculum of England, tailored to fit our unique location on Koh Samui.
We teach both geography and history, with the aim that a high-quality geography education will inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. The teaching aims to equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes.
As pupils progress, their growing knowledge about the world should help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. Geographical knowledge, understanding and skills provide the frameworks and approaches that explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.
Geography:
Our geography curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:
- Develop contextual knowledge of the location of globally significant places – both terrestrial and marine – including their defining physical and human characteristics and how these provide a geographical context for understanding the actions of processes.
- Understand the processes that give rise to key physical and human geographical features of the world, how these are interdependent and how they bring about spatial variation and change over time.
- Are competent in the geographical skills needed to:
- Collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data gathered through experiences of fieldwork that deepen their understanding of geographical processes.
- Interpret a range of sources of geographical information, including maps, diagrams, globes, aerial photographs and Geographical Information Systems (GIS).
- Communicate geographical information in a variety of ways, including through maps, numerical and quantitative skills and writing at length.
Pupils will develop knowledge about the world, the United Kingdom and their locality, Koh Samui and Thailand. They will learn to understand basic subject-specific vocabulary relating to human and physical geography and begin to use geographical skills, including first-hand observation, to enhance their locational awareness.
Pupils should be taught to:
(Locational knowledge)
- Name and locate the world’s seven continents and five oceans
- Name, locate and identify characteristics of the four countries and capital cities of the United Kingdom and its surrounding seas
(Place knowledge)
- Understand geographical similarities and differences through studying the human and physical geography of a small area of the United Kingdom, and of a small area in a contrasting country – Thailand
(Human and physical geography)
- Identify seasonal and daily weather patterns in Thailand and the location of hot and cold areas of the world in relation to the Equator and the North and South Poles
Use basic geographical vocabulary to refer to:
- Key physical features, including: beach, cliff, coast, forest, hill, mountain, sea, ocean, river, soil, valley, vegetation, season and weather
- Key human features, including: city, town, village, factory, farm, house, office, port, harbour and shop
(Geographical skills and fieldwork)
- Use world maps, atlases and globes to identify the United Kingdom and its countries, as well as the countries, continents and oceans studied at this key stage
- Use simple compass directions (North, South, East and West) and locational and directional language [for example, near and far; left and right], to describe the location of features and routes on a map
- Use aerial photographs and plan perspectives to recognise landmarks and basic human and physical features; devise a simple map; and use and construct basic symbols in a key
- Use simple fieldwork and observational skills to study the geography of their school and its grounds and the key human and physical features of its surrounding environment.
In Key Stage 2 (Years 3,4,5 and 6), pupils extend their knowledge and understanding beyond the local area to include Thailand, Europe, North and South America. This will include the location and characteristics of a range of the world’s most significant human and physical features. They should develop their use of geographical knowledge, understanding and skills to enhance their locational and place knowledge.
Pupils should be taught to:
(Locational knowledge)
- Locate the world’s countries, using maps to focus on ASEAN, Europe (including the location of Russia) and North and South America, concentrating on their environmental regions, key physical and human characteristics, countries, and major cities
- Name and locate counties and cities of Thailand, geographical regions and their identifying human and physical characteristics, key topographical features (including hills, mountains, coasts and rivers), and land-use patterns; and understand how some of these aspects have changed over time
- Identify the position and significance of latitude, longitude, Equator, Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, Arctic and Antarctic Circle, the Prime/Greenwich Meridian and time zones (including day and night)
(Place knowledge)
- Understand geographical similarities and differences through the study of human and physical geography of a region of the United Kingdom, Thailand, and a region within North or South America
(Human and physical geography)
Describe and understand key aspects of:
- Physical geography, including: climate zones, biomes and vegetation belts, rivers, mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes, and the water cycle
- Human geography, including: types of settlement and land use, economic activity including trade links, and the distribution of natural resources including energy, food, minerals and water
(Geographical skills and fieldwork)
- Use maps, atlases, globes and digital/computer mapping to locate countries and describe features studied
- Use the eight points of a compass, four and six-figure grid references, symbols and key (including the use of Ordnance Survey maps) to build their knowledge of the United Kingdom and the wider world
- Use fieldwork to observe, measure, record and present the human and physical features in the local area using a range of methods, including sketch maps, plans and graphs, and digital technologies
A high-quality history education will help pupils gain a coherent knowledge and understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world, linked to similar events in Thailand. It should inspire pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past. Teaching equips pupils to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.
History
Our history curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:
- Know and understand the history of the British Isles as a coherent, chronological narrative, from the earliest times to the present day: how people’s lives have shaped the nation and how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world. Comparisons to similar events in Thailand should also be made
- Know and understand significant aspects of the history of the wider world: the nature of ancient civilisations; the expansion and dissolution of empires; characteristic features of past non-European societies; achievements and follies of mankind
- Gain and deploy a historically grounded understanding of abstract terms such as ‘empire’, ‘civilisation’, ‘parliament’ and ‘peasantry’
- Understand historical concepts such as continuity and change, cause and consequence, similarity, difference and significance, and use them to make connections, draw contrasts, analyse trends, frame historically valid questions and create their own structured accounts, including written narratives and analyses
- Understand the methods of historical enquiry, including how evidence is used rigorously to make historical claims, and discern how and why contrasting arguments and interpretations of the past have been constructed
- Gain historical perspective by placing their growing knowledge into different contexts, understanding the connections between local, regional, national and international history; between cultural, economic, military, political, religious and social history; and between short- and long-term timescales.
Subject content (History)
KEY STAGE 1
Pupils will develop an awareness of the past, using common words and phrases relating to the passing of time. They should know where the people and events they study fit within a chronological framework and identify similarities and differences between ways of life in different periods. They will learn to use a wide vocabulary of everyday historical terms. They should ask and answer questions, choosing and using parts of stories and other sources to show that they know and understand key features of events. They will learn to understand some of the ways in which we find out about the past and identify different ways in which it is represented.
In planning to ensure the progression described above through teaching about the people, events and changes outlined below, teachers will introduce pupils to historical periods that they will study more fully at key stages 2 and 3.
Pupils will learn about:
- Changes within living memory. Where appropriate, these should be used to reveal aspects of change in national life
- Events beyond living memory that are significant nationally or globally [for example, the Great Fire of London, the first aeroplane flight or events commemorated through festivals or anniversaries
- The lives of significant individuals in the past who have contributed to national and international achievements. Some should be used to compare aspects of life in different periods [for example, Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria, Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong, William Caxton and Tim Berners-Lee, Pieter Bruegel the Elder and LS Lowry, Rosa Parks and Emily Davison, Mary Seacole and/or Florence Nightingale and Edith Cavell]
- Significant historical events, people and places in their own locality.
KEY STAGE 2
Pupils should continue to develop a chronologically secure knowledge and understanding of British, local and world history, establishing clear narratives within and across the periods they study. They should note connections, contrasts and trends over time and develop the appropriate use of historical terms. They should regularly address and sometimes devise historically valid questions about change, cause, similarity and difference, and significance. They should construct informed responses that involve thoughtful selection and organisation of relevant historical information. They should understand how our knowledge of the past is constructed from a range of sources.
In planning to ensure the progression described above through teaching the British, local and world history outlined below, teachers should combine overview and depth studies to help pupils understand both the long arc of development and the complexity of specific aspects of the content.
Pupils will learn about:
- Changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.
- The Roman Empire and its impact on Britain.
- Britain’s settlement by Anglo-Saxons and Scots.
- The Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom of England to the time of Edward the Confessor.
- A local history study.
- A study of an aspect or theme in Thai history.
- The achievements of the earliest civilizations – an overview of where and when the first civilizations appeared and a depth study of one of the following: Ancient Sumer; The Indus Valley; Ancient Egypt; The Shang Dynasty of Ancient China.
- Ancient Greece – a study of Greek life and achievements and their influence on the western world.
- A non-European society that provides contrasts with British history – one study chosen from: early Islamic civilization, including a study of Baghdad c. AD 900; Mayan civilization c. AD 900; Benin (West Africa) c. AD 900-1300.
Cambridge Primary Mathematics
Cambridge Primary Mathematics explores five content areas:-
- Number
- Geometry
- Measure
- Handling data
- Problem solving
This course supports progression to Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics.
Our curriculum focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships so that pupils can apply their mathematical knowledge and develop a holistic understanding of the subject. It provides a solid foundation upon which the later stages of mathematical education can be built.
Cambridge Primary Mathematics is assessed through two testing options: Cambridge Primary Progression Tests and Cambridge Primary Checkpoint.
Cambridge Primary Progression Tests provide detailed information about the performance of each learner for stages 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the curriculum. The tests help teachers to compare the strengths and weaknesses of individuals and groups and share feedback with pupils and parents. They are marked by teachers in our school and come with a unique reporting and analysis tool.
Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Mathematics tests skills, knowledge and understanding at the end of the primary programme. Tests are marked in Cambridge to provide an international benchmark of learner performance. Feedback reports show how a pupil has performed in relation to the curriculum, their learning group, the whole school, and against all learners who have taken tests in that series around the world.
Primary Music
Music fosters creativity and builds confidence. It helps pupils to express themselves and shows them the importance of communication as they learn to connect with other musicians and with audiences.
Pupils explore music as performers, composers and informed listeners. They make, understand and appreciate music from different cultures, times and places, helping them to develop leadership and collaboration skills as well as self-confidence.
Pupils who follow the Cambridge Primary Music course
- Cultivate a joy of music through participating in meaningful and enjoyable experiences
- Develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to contribute as musicians
- Collaborate with others in purposeful and expressive ways through singing and playing instruments
- Nurture their individual and collective creativity.
- Use their growing knowledge to explore and generate music that is unique, relevant and valuable.
Pupils develop creative skills that will help with many aspects of their future learning and development. The course supports progression to Cambridge Lower Secondary Music
Cambridge Primary Music is flexible so pupils can perform through singing and playing musical instruments of any kind (as well as sound objects and music technology). Pupils will experience music from their own culture as well as exploring music from other times and places. The programme complements rather than replaces instrumental or singing lessons.
There are no Cambridge Primary Progression Tests or Checkpoint for Cambridge Primary Music.
The emphasis of this course is for teachers to give pupils formative feedback on the skills they want them to develop. This can be through discussion, observation and lesson outputs where teachers discuss with students ‘what went well’ and how they can improve further, so that pupils can reflect on, and improve, their performance.
Primary Physical Education
Physical education is a vital part of a balanced school curriculum. Regular exercise improves physical and mental health and there is growing evidence that it improves academic performance across the curriculum. Establishing good patterns of exercise in primary school provides pupils with the foundation for an active and healthy lifestyle.
Pupils develop skills through a wide variety of age-appropriate physical activities, including games, gymnastics and dance. As individuals and team members, they will:
- Increase confidence, moving with increasing control, fluency and variety.
- Improve their understanding of concepts, rules, tactics, strategies and compositional ideas.
- Participate in respectful and responsible ways, engaging appropriately and safely.
- Improve knowledge and understanding of how physical education can contribute to a healthy and active lifestyle.
- Develop transferable skills promoting physical, cognitive and social development and become independent, critical and reflective movers and thinkers.
Pupils develop creative skills that will help with many aspects of their future learning and development. The course supports progression to the Cambridge Lower Secondary Physical Education.
We teach the subject through a broad range of tasks, challenges and physical activities. It includes cooperative, competitive, athletic, adventurous and health-based contexts that are appropriate for each learning stage.
Pupils will move for as much of each lesson as possible, with activities designed promote pupils’ confidence, self-esteem, cognitive abilities and social skills.
Our programme is designed to complement, rather than replace, coaching in individual sports or physical activities, such as that provided by our school team squads in Basketball, Football, Volleyball, Swimming, etc.
There are no Cambridge Primary Progression Tests or Checkpoint for this subject.
The emphasis of this course is for teachers to give learners formative feedback on the skills they want students to develop. This can be through discussion, observation and lesson outputs where teachers discuss with pupils ‘what went well’ and how they can improve further, so that pupils can reflect on, and improve, their performance.
Primary Science
Children are naturally curious, and science supports the development of a child’s curiosity, helping them to investigate problems, learn more about the world around them and understand and use scientific explanations for a wide range of phenomena.
Cambridge Primary Science covers four content areas:
- Scientific enquiry
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
Scientific enquiry is about considering ideas, evaluating evidence, planning investigative work and recording and analysing data. The Scientific enquiry objectives underpin Biology, Chemistry and Physics, which are focused on developing confidence and interest in scientific knowledge, including environmental awareness and history of science.
Pupils develop research, collaboration and creative skills that will help with many aspects of their future learning and development.
The course supports progression to Cambridge Lower Secondary Science.
In every stage, pupils develop their understanding of foundational concepts in biology, chemistry and physics, which they will build on throughout their school careers.
Importantly, science is an experimental subject and learners have many opportunities to develop their skills in scientific enquiry. Not only does this help them to experience and understand different areas of science, but it also helps them to appreciate that scientific understanding changes over time.
Cambridge Primary Science is assessed through Cambridge Primary Progression Tests and Cambridge Primary Checkpoint.
Cambridge Primary Progression Tests provide detailed information about the performance of each pupil for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the curriculum. The tests help teachers to compare the strengths and weaknesses of individuals and groups and share feedback with pupils and parents. They are marked by teachers in our school and come with a unique reporting and analysis tool.
Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Science tests skills, knowledge and understanding at the end of the primary programme. Tests are marked in Cambridge to provide an international benchmark of learner performance. Feedback reports show how a pupil has performed in relation to the curriculum, their learning group, the whole school, and against all pupils who have taken tests in that series around the world.
Cambridge Primary Global Perspectives
Cambridge Primary Global Perspectives is a unique, transformational programme that helps primary learners to develop transferable skills such as critical thinking and problem solving. It offers valuable opportunities to reinforce links with and skills learnt in other subjects across the Cambridge Primary programme.
The emphasis is on developing learners’ ability to think critically about a range of global issues where there is always more than one point of view. Learners study global topics that are relevant to them – for example, the environment, education and keeping healthy.
Research says that the earlier learners start to develop and practise their skills, the greater the impact on their learning. Making Cambridge Global Perspectives available to younger learners will develop and embed cross-curricular skills at an earlier age, supporting them in their studies as they progress to Cambridge Lower Secondary and beyond.
The programme is flexible so you can choose how you organise teaching, either as one-hour blocks or as an occasional full day.
Curriculum Framework
The Curriculum Framework details the key benefits and aims of the programme and provides a comprehensive set of learning objectives detailing what learners should be able to do by the end of each stage. Learning objectives are divided into six main areas called ‘strands’, which run through every stage. Each strand corresponds to one of the following skills:
- Research
- Analysis
- Evaluation
- Reflection
- Collaboration
- Communication.
The skills are taught through a wide range of topics using a personal, local and global perspective. We have designed the learning objectives to promote progression along the Cambridge Pathway.
Primary PSHE (Personal, Social, Health & Economic Education)
As a subject, PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) aims to provide children with the knowledge and skills to keep themselves happy, healthy and safe, as well as to prepare them for life and work. PSHE aims to give children the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy and independent lives.
Navigating our complex world can be challenging, and parents and teachers play an essential role in preparing children for the future. As such, PSHE aims to equip pupils to:
- Take individual responsibility for their physical and mental wellbeing;
- Understand the risks of drugs and alcohol and how to stay safe online;
- Develop resilience, independence and responsibility;
- Develop the personal and social skills required to succeed in commerce and industry;
- Identify misleading information and be critical of misleading news or views they might encounter.
Since September 2020, it is a statutory requirement for primary schools to provide the Relationships Education and Health Education aspects of PSHE education, and for secondary schools to provide Relationships, Sex and Health Education. This content makes up the majority of PSHE education, though schools are also encouraged to cover non-statutory content relating to economic wellbeing and careers.
Following the the PSHE Association advice, for primary education, Windfield delivers a whole-school spiral PSHE curriculum for primary school years 1 to 6.
