Curriculum Map

2014/15

Ensuring Consistency Across the Primary Age Phase

To ensure progression, continuity and a creative curriculum across the primary school years, at Stifford Clays we have adopted the

use of curriculum maps built around the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). The new National Curriculum 2014 and various

schemes of work for foundation subjects.

In order to ensure consistency, it is important teachers working as a year group, follow the map, covering all the topics designated

for that particular year group.

Literacy: the map identifies the different genres to be covered for that year, linked where possible with the IPC or foundation

subject topics. As a year group you may find a particular unit fits better with an IPC topic, feel free to move around the units as long

as coverage of all the genres are delivered by the end of the year.

GPS: Working with your year group, you will need to identify a specific time within the teaching day for grammar, punctuation and

spelling to be taught.

Mathematics: using your assessment data, teachers have the autonomy to plan conceptual coverage where the areas for

development have been identified or areas for challenge are evident. Again, this should be decided by the year group within PPA

time ensuing the expectations for that year group by the end of the academic year are met.

Science: links with the IPC has been made; unfortunately this is still not sufficient to ensure the science knowledge, skills and

understanding expected as part of the new national curriculum 2014 can be met. Therefore, some of the science programmes of

study may need to be taught discreetly outside the curriculum map. It is imperative you make reference to the new national

curriculum in the planning stages of your science teaching.

ICT: each unit is organised half-termly, planning is crucial to ensure coverage. Where possible, the ICT units have been linked with

the IPC or foundation subjects. Administrative ICT i.e. word and PowerPoint should be taught, where possible, as part of the

quality first teaching offer using the mobile resources available to you.

RE: this is currently taught using the current SACRE guidelines and these units of work can be accessed at

https://www.thurrock.gov.uk/religious-education/units-of-work . It is also important that the different cultures and religions within

your own class are recognised and celebrated through your RE lessons. Where possible, links should be made with our local

community and visitors are encouraged to enhance the children’s RE lessons.

https://www.thurrock.gov.uk/religious-education/units-of-work

PE: this will be taught using the PE scheme of work. This scheme is designed around our curriculum map based on what we want

the children to learn.

PSHE: there are number of way you can ensure this is being taught well. Weekly class assemblies must be dedicated to key

SEAL themes identified from your curriculum map. Using circle time, role play, debates and numerous other excellent teaching

strategies, will guarantee our school’s core values are taught and celebrated to ensure our children behave in the way we at Stifford

Clays expect of them.

Music: This will be taught using the Charanga scheme of work. Charanga enables everyone to enter the 3 dimensional world of

learning; it brings the notes off the page and encourages a spirit of enquiry that is refreshing and inspiring to children for whom

music is not an option in their life. Visit: http://www.charangamusicworld.co.uk/ If you do not have a login and password you can
