At Queen Margaret Primary Academy we support children’s academic development through sequences of learning designed to engage, immerse and provide cultural capital. At Queen Margaret Primary Academy we have an immersive curriculum where children learn within different ‘States of being’. This includes learning such as ‘We are Citizens’, ‘We are Scientists’, ‘We are Artists’ and ‘We are Mathematicians’. Each unit aims to use first-hand experiences, aspirational knowledge and developing skills to build upon prior understanding. Current knowledge, skills and understanding can then be the foundation of future learning. Learning is celebrated through curriculum sessions with parents and carers, assemblies and displays.
Our curriculum has been curated by subject specialists working 2-19 across our trust and as such, there are clear rationales in place for the decisions we have made about the sequencing and building of knowledge over time. For example, the learning of history follows a progressive curriculum where events are present chronologically across the academy. Learning begins with the knowledge of oneself in the present and grows from there. As another example, geographical progression is organised across the academy to allow pupils to learn about locational knowledge at a local and national scale as well as places at a distance. For our children in early years, learning starts with the knowledges of themes in their immediate location of home and school and develops to learning about the wider world.
