Knowledge Curriculum at Wrangle Primary Academy
At Wrangle Primary Academy, we have developed our knowledge curriculum taking into consideration our values of DREAMS. We want our pupils to be confident and well rounded members of their community and the wider world. We achieve this through a carefully developed progressive curriculum; with a variety of opportunities and experiences to allow our children to grow in their academic understanding and through personal growth.
A Curriculum Built on Knowledge Progression and Inclusion
Our curriculum is carefully structured to build knowledge progressively across all subjects, ensuring pupils develop deep understanding and skills over time. We place great emphasis on:
- Clear sequencing of essential knowledge and concepts that pupils must know and remember, enabling connections across subjects and year groups.
- Embedding key vocabulary and ideas to support pupils’ long-term retention and ability to apply learning confidently.
- Regular revisiting and reinforcement of crucial content, so that knowledge is securely embedded in long-term memory.
- Meeting the needs of all learners through ongoing assessment and targeted support, including intervention and catch-up work, ensuring every child can achieve their full potential.
How We Ensure Knowledge is Retained and Applied
We understand that learning is not just about covering content but about ensuring pupils can recall and apply what they have learned. To achieve this, our teachers:
- Plan lessons that revisit core concepts and vocabulary in meaningful ways without unnecessary repetition.
- Encourage pupils to make connections between new and prior learning, fostering a deeper understanding.
- Use assessments thoughtfully to identify gaps in knowledge and adapt teaching accordingly.
- Promote cross-curricular links, for example, integrating literacy skills with wider subjects like history, science, and computing, to enrich understanding.
