Curriculum Subjects
The Mountbatten Primary School curriculum is planned and sequenced by subject leaders to ensure that pupils are able to build on prior knowledge and are given the opportunity to learn more and remember more to equip them with knowledge and skills which they will build on in future year groups.
The long term plans for each subject identify what each year group will be studying in each half term.
