At Oldfield, our curriculum is meticulously planned to ensure full National Curriculum coverage and clear progression across all subjects, with careful consideration given to the unique challenges and opportunities of mixed-age teaching within cycles. Our long-term plans are thoughtfully designed to build knowledge and skills progressively over time, revisit key concepts to reinforce understanding, and reflect the diverse needs of learners across different year groups, all while integrating our local context.

In mixed-age settings, planning involves differentiating content and learning outcomes to accommodate varying developmental stages, ensuring that each child is appropriately challenged and supported. We balance breadth and depth by identifying thematic links and skills that span multiple year groups, enabling seamless progression while fostering collaboration and peer learning.

Our curriculum remains broad, balanced, and engaging, promoting academic growth, personal development, and a lifelong passion for learning. Cross-curricular links, enrichment activities, and real-life experiences are carefully selected to resonate across ages and abilities, preparing children effectively for their next educational phase and for life beyond school.
