Year Group Curriculum

Welcome to Our Year Group Overviews:

At Springhill Catholic Primary School, we believe that education is a wonderful journey shared between home and school. We strive to provide a rich, balanced, and ambitious curriculum that nurtures the whole child—spiritually, academically and socially—ensuring that every pupil is supported and inspired to "reach for the stars".

To help you support your child’s learning at home, our year-by-year curriculum overviews outline the core topics, key themes, and subject focus areas taught across each term.

What Parents Will Find in Our Overviews

Core Subjects: Coverage in Religious Education (RE), English (including our rigorous phonics and reading progression) Mathematics and Science.
Foundation Subjects: Exciting modules in History, Geography, Art, Design & Technology, Music, Computing, Physical Education and French.
Thematic Learning: How cross-curricular links and our Christian values are woven seamlessly into everyday lessons.
