Finding our curriculum plans

Our curriculum plans are an easy way to get an overview of our lessons, both by key stage and subject.

Explore our interactive curriculum plans

You can use our interactive curriculum plans for even more help with your planning.

Choose and subject, then a phase to view the curriculum plan you need.

Here you can:

  • See an explainer of each curriculum, so you can understand the thinking, structure and focus behind the plan to inspire your own approach
  • View the full sequence and lessons we'll release teaching resources for later this academic year
  • See how our threads weave their way through our curriculum so you can see common themes running through key stages in the subject.
  • See the unit descriptions with a 'why this, why now' to help you consider the sequence of your current planning
  • Download the plan to use offline to help with your planning.

Adapting our curriculum plans

Our fully sequenced curriculum plans for each subject provide inspiration and a springboard for annual, termly and weekly planning for every teacher in your school. 

Each plan provides a curriculum rationale, an outline of all topic units available and how many lessons are in each. To help you, we’ve provided information on the pre-existing knowledge needed for any unit.  There is also a suggested sequenced order of lessons, if that works for you - but you are of course free to use the units and lessons in any order that suits you.

Each unit, lesson and individual elements (such as slides and worksheets) have their own web link, so you can pick and choose which bits you want to access, download, edit and adapt.

Using the parts of our resources that work best for schools can help to free up extra time for teachers to focus on the bits of the curriculum that they want to personalise.

Other uses

There could be times where you want to use our resources without any adaptations such as supporting absent pupils or setting cover. We recommend quickly mapping our resources against your existing curriculum so that you’re ready to go at short notice.
