Topic

Topics have been selected to be expand students’ world and give a broader curriculum while also allowing student led enquiry. Topics will be taught on a 3 yearly rotation. Students will have at least 45-minute teaching time per week.

Students work through ranges of enquiry in all areas of the curriculum which progress students’ subject specific skills, vocabulary and knowledge. This allows all pathways to access Topic learning.

Topic is used as a vehicle to develop students’ Learning Behaviours which is a strand of the Cognition and Learning part of the AVA Curriculum.
