Knowledge-rich approach

Our knowledge-rich projects, built on a robust curriculum framework, are carefully designed to help your children make sustained and measurable progress in both knowledge and skills across a wide range of subjects. Each project has a clear subject-specific focus and includes fully sequenced lesson plans, supported by a complete suite of high-quality teaching resources. This structured approach ensures curriculum coherence, progression, and conceptual depth, empowering teachers to deliver knowledge with precision and confidence.

Why choose a knowledge-rich approach?

If you want to build a stronger, more structured foundation for your curriculum, adopting a knowledge-rich approach offers significant advantages. This aligns closely with the priorities outlined in the Curriculum and Assessment Review (2025) which emphasises the importance of foundational knowledge, specificity, and a curriculum led by clear, powerful concepts.

A knowledge-rich model provides your school with a subject-focused learning pathway in which new knowledge is carefully sequenced and explicitly built upon prior learning. This not only develops childrens’ deep conceptual understanding, but also strengthens teachers’ subject expertise, ensuring clarity of progression and purpose. By foregrounding foundational knowledge and conceptual connections, your curriculum becomes more rigorous, coherent, and intellectually ambitious, giving pupils the secure base they need to engage critically and creatively with the world.
