Ofsted – Concepts that matter when designing our curriculum

‘Knowledge and skills are intimately connected. A skill is the capacity to perform, drawing on what is known.’

(Ofsted – Concepts that matter when designing our curriculum)

It is our mission to ensure that children have and retain the essential knowledge to developing into well-educated citizens and have a success future.
