Building the foundations for excellence.
The curriculum at Downsend Junior lays the foundations for future learning by providing a deep and thorough basis in core subjects which are then enriched with a broad, imaginative and exciting range of specialist subjects.
Each term, children have a theme for their learning, which crosses across subject areas, which means they are fully immersed in the topic whether they are in an English lesson or a Geography lesson. We enrich our curriculum with trips, visits, speakers and theatre productions that bring our classroom learning to life.
