Foundation Curriculum

Foundation Subjects Lesson Framework

At Upton, we believe every child has a right to a broad and balanced curriculum from Year 1 through to Year 6. Primary school is about much more than the core subjects. We of course want every child leaving Year 6 with the fundamental core skills and knowledge in reading, writing and maths so they are ready for Key Stage 3. We also want curious leaners across the range of subjects and children being given chances to excel in sports, arts, music, humanities, languages and much, much more. 

On a typical school day, every child in Year 1 and above will have two foundation subject lessons so that across the weeks and terms, all children have access to the full range of subjects in the national curriculum.
