St Thomas More’s Curriculum Design 

Much of the content of the National Curriculum is delivered through themes across the school. 

Within each theme there will be; 

• Inspirational starter lesson or hook which provides a clear purpose for learning 
• Key text(s) that will maximise reading and writing opportunities  
• Speaking and Listening embedded within teaching and learning that includes the teaching of specific vocabulary 
• Real experiences which provide and reinforce context for children (visits, visitors, artefacts, role-play etc…) 
• Opportunities for basic skills in Literacy and Numeracy to be developed and applied 
• Links to prior learning and clear progression of skills
