At Salterlee, our units of work follow a learnings sequence focused on the following structure:

  1. Exploring design ideas
  2. Investigating and Making: Pupils have the opportunity to master techniques and develop relevant key skills
  3. Evaluating and Developing: Pupils put into practice what they have learnt to create a ‘final piece’ product.

Across KS1 and KS2 pupils have the opportunity to develop skills in the following areas:

  • Structures
  • Mechanisms
  • Textiles
  • Cooking and Nutrition
  • Electrical Systems (KS2 only)

We have mixed class teaching. We ensure every pupil receives a broad and balanced curriculum that not only meets but enhances the requirements of the national curriculum. To achieve this, each classes curriculum content is delivered in year bands (Band A and Band B).

Below are the year bands for the following academic years:

Academic Year 24/25 – Band A

Academic Year 25/26 – Band B

Each curriculum overview will identify which curriculum content is taught in which year band. This ensures all pupils study the full range of curriculum (both Band A and Band B) content of each academic subject.

This year is a Band A Year
