GLC Primary Curriculum
Our curriculum has been designed upon the principles of the national curriculum. We have carefully considered the curriculum intent [what we aim to achieve]; its implementation [how it will be organised and delivered] and the impact [how the curriculum will change, impact upon and influence each child].
At the heart of our curriculum is the desire for all pupils to be able to master the skills and acquire the knowledge needed to enable them to be successful in their future. To this end we have carefully designed our curriculum to ensure all children, except those with the most significant special needs, with the guiding principle of, ‘Keep up not catch up.’

To this end we have carefully designed our curriculum to ensure all children, except those with the most significant special needs, with the guiding principle of, ‘Keep up not catch up.’
The curriculum is designed to enrich pupil’s experiences, provide a context for learning, reinforce concepts, plug gaps and to give pupils an opportunity to apply their skills in different contexts.
The Primary curriculum is aligned across the four Primary Academies within the GLC to provide a consistent foundation of skills, knowledge and understanding to support rapid progress and continuity within the primary phase of education. It was designed to meet the needs of the pupils in our area, to encourage pupils to think, question and reason and to ensure the basic skills are secured early in their education. The secondary curriculum builds upon this to ensure a seamless transition as pupils move to the next stage of their education and beyond.
