Theme based learning to 11+
Theme-based learning - Nurturing creative, independent thought
A thematic curriculum delivers teaching and learning through exciting and engaging units of work, which connect and integrate traditional subject areas giving children context in their learning, as opposed to fragmented standalone subjects.
Themes act as umbrellas, under which all major subjects are covered for each year group, connected by the theme. It is an effective and inspiring way to learn, enabling children to link concepts between subjects and understand the world around them.
