1. Introduction and Aims

 

What is Primary Learning Pathways?

Primary Learning Pathways is a subject based delivery model for the National Curriculum and wider aspects of primary learning. It employs subject progression milestones to enable learners to effectively build on their prior learning.

 

Aims

The key purpose of the curriculum is to give children the knowledge needed to succeed in their lives. It is designed to be vibrant and ambitious, giving all children (including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs) opportunities to learn and remember more. The key drivers for the curriculum are Knowledge, Experience, Skills and Confidence and these can be seen as both aspects of learning and also as personal growth progression. These drivers follow educational research findings that most effective curriculum strategy:

 

1. helps learners acquire rich and deep subject knowledge,
