The ‘Wolverton Curriculum Framework’ document outlines the aims and ambitions of our curriculum, the learning journey, including our curriculum structure, our approach to evaluation and the expected outcomes of our pupils.

Our curriculum takes full account of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and the current statutory National Curriculum and is planned, with the exception of the Reception class, in phases rather than separate year groups to meet the needs of our mixed age classes.
