We follow the Dimension ‘Learning Means the World’ curriculum at Beeston, this is a world class Topic based curriculum that helps us to engage and enthuse the children while covering all the national curriculum targets. The children follow a pathway through each class. We adjust it depending on which year groups are together as this fluidity is essential in such a small village school. This however does not disadvantage the children as the Topics we study are Globally used. Children in 32 other countries will be experiencing the same learning as children at Beeston. The curriculum also includes a unique and up to date PHSE programme that took into account what the children needed when emerging from lockdown.
Please follow the links to find out more about:
