Schools use the core materials as a starting point then select the implementation opportunity that best suits their needs, be that a subject-specific or thematic approach.

At every stage in this process, we have kept children at the front of our minds and are passionate about teachers and leaders delivering exceptional and ambitious learning opportunities to all.”
