Curriculum Growth 2021-2022 - Curriculum Design in Response to COVID Disruption An Increased Frequency Model - Corngreaves Academy
Rationale
This document has been produced in response to the challenges faced from the disruption of COVID.
We recognise the needs of our children that are present as a result of the global pandemic and the
disruption to their education. We have identified the challenges that are children face, and this
document identifies our school-based solutions to the challenges identified.

The Challenges:
   •   To respond to the challenge of time and gaps in knowledge by increasing the frequency of
       phonics, science and wider curriculum subjects.
   •   Increasing the frequency of teaching by extending and using the Learning Modules.
   •   To rebalance the long-term curriculum offer after a year of disruption.
   •   To see if it were possible to maximise the time in a school day and use it in an even more
       intelligent way.
   •   To ensure RE and Music have a proportionally equal amount of time.
   •   To maximise the opportunities for MfL.
   •   To include further dedicated PSHE time into the curriculum.
   •   To respond positively to the recent Ofsted curriculum reports.
   •   Ensure the subject distribution offer supports research and is evidenced based and driven.
   •   To address the reduction in the lack of fluency in relation to basic skills, timetables and
       handwriting.

Possible Solutions:
   •   A significant increase in time for science through weekly provision using the learning
       modules, including extra curriculum time to increase opportunities to work and think
       scientifically.
   •   More time to teach Geography, History, Art, DT and Computing.
   •   Clearly defined and dedicated time for RE and Music every week.
   •   Two additional phonics sessions every week.
   •   Provide whole class catch-up sessions where data tells us these are required, ensuring
       forensic analysis identifies strand catch-up
   •   Focused short MfL lesson on a weekly basis, with 2 or 3 x short burst retrieval practice
       sessions.
   •   A modular, 6-week cycle that utilises the success of the learning modules.
   •   Dedicated shared reading opportunities at the end of the day.
   •   Opportunities for new learning modules to extend, retrieve or enrich the curriculum.
   •   Ensure reading and writing lessons have tighter links to wider curriculum knowledge-based
       learning modules so that pupils can reuse and deepen what they know.
   •   Daily basic skill practice

Other Considerations
Reflecting and responding to national guidance. Recently, Ofsted have published numerous subject
reviews that give us a clear view about how to refine and evolve our curriculum offer.

National Key Messages:

   1. Science will be under scrutiny; a hinge point of curriculum design, it needs more time and
      extended learning opportunities to realise the ambitious content.
   2. PSHE, RE and Music need to be prioritised and given proportionally more time and status,
      which in turn raises the accountability for these subjects.
   3. Implementing best practice ideas from the DfE document – Teaching a broad and balanced
      curriculum for education recovery
Introduction
To ensure we have sufficient time available to focus on deliberate practise and catch-up, we have
evolved and rewritten our curriculum model.

English
We have carefully mapped our core content in reading and writing to ensure that learning is taught
and revisited over time. We have ensured that curriculum content is interleaved meaning pupils use
what they have learnt in other knowledge-based subjects and apply this to their writing. We have
reduced the number of text types that each year group study and have moved the emphasis to focus
on securing procedural and conceptual fluency of the mechanics and processes of writing as a craft.
Each cohort will have a suite of core texts that will form the depth study for the academic year. These
are a promise from the school to every pupil that it serves of the literature that they are committed
to studying throughout pupils’ school journey. These texts have been mapped carefully to ensure a
breadth of experiences, authors, texts, and themes are addressed across the Primary years. In
addition to these texts, there are core poems that each group will study in depth.

Year 1
Reading and Writing is planned over a 28-week programme of study to allow for transition and
phonic progression. Phonics is taught in addition to this. Our new approach has enabled us to find
time to put two additional phonics sessions on the timetable. As well as daily sentence practice
Following the release of the DfE document – Teaching a broad and balanced curriculum for education
recovery, additional daily story times will be a priority. We shall be implementing the three a day
model.

Years 2-5
Reading and writing is planned over a 34-week programme of study. The end of the day should be
prioritised for shared reading opportunities. This is part of the culture and practice we promote
through our Reading Curriculum

Year 6
Reading and writing planned over a 30-week programme of study, allowing for revision modules and
transition tasks. The end of the day should be prioritised for shared reading opportunities. This is part
of the culture and practice we promote through our Reading Curriculum

Maths
We have implemented the NCTEM’s COVID Recovery Curriculum Prioritisation resource and
materials along with prior learning ‘ready-to-progress’ criteria to ensure any gaps are identified and
closed before moving on. The long-term sequencing plans ensures strand are revisited more
frequently.

Wider Curriculum
Building on the success of the modular approach, we have increased the focus on interleaving over a
6-week cycle that repeats twice a term.
We have decided to increase the time and length of science modules by delivering them on a weekly
basis of 90 minutes or more. This has enabled us to reclaim additional time so that further sessions
can be planned into the sequence to support the practical element of working scientifically. It has
also enabled us to release time for new modules to enrich the wider curriculum, such as more
mapping and fieldwork opportunities in Geography.
We have included one double module afternoon to enable practical subjects like Art or DT to focus
for the whole afternoon weekly and not lose time in set up and clearing up. Therefore, there are 5
module slots per week – a double for Art / DT on a rota and 3 slots for one of
Geography/History/Computing per week, enabling those subjects to revisit every 3 weeks.
Please see the example 6-week cycle that repeats twice a term and focuses on spaced retrieval and
interleaving.
Six Week Modular Cycle, including weekly science provision:
Increased Frequency Timetables
Our new approach now means that we have found time on the timetable to provide a flexible
content lesson for years 3-6. This enables teacher to use this time to scoop and boost learning in
relation to any identified gaps as well as focusing on the securing of memorisation linked to each
classes’s “Little and Often facts.
