Foundation Subjects

Foundation subjects at Meadows are taught thematically through the use of Dimensions Curriculum. Each year group focuses on the same ‘C’ of the four C’s that are the basis of Dimensions: communication, conflict, conservation and culture.  There are clear end goals for these four areas, which are referred to in the curriculum as World Issues. Using the skills ladders in tandem with the knowledge building system, pupils are able to construct a clear subject narrative over time, with key foundational concepts and vocabulary further developed at every stage in the Learning Pathways and clear progression seen throughout the school.

Year groups are grouped into four key areas:

Explorers (aged 3-5)

Pathfinders (aged 5-7)

Adventurers (aged 7-9)

Navigators (aged 9-11)
