As a school, we follow the primary National Curriculum for Key Stage 2.

Below, is a break down of the topics we cover in Year 3.

At BPSP, our ambitious, vibrant and inclusive curriculum has been developed with the intention of providing all our learners with key knowledge and skills for long-term learning and with the cultural capital to become responsible and valuable citizens in our modern society.

From Year 3 through to Year 6, we study a wide variety of subjects, making cross-curricular links where relevant (see curriculum overviews on the school website for more detail) In addition, we regularly recap and revisit previous knowledge so it can be recalled and applied to different contexts in order to deepen the learning experience for all children.

If you would like any further information regarding our curriculum, please contact the school office at office@bpsp.coastalpartnership.co.uk.
