--- title: "Primary Curriculum" url: "https://www.georgemitchellschool.com/curriculum/primary-curriculum-2" school: "George Mitchell School" --- # Primary Curriculum George Mitchell offers a rigorous, creative and knowledge-rich curriculum in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, based on the National Curriculum. The curriculum is taught through discrete subjects, arranged into half termly topics, and has an emphasis on developing resilient, enthusiastic learners with lifelong skills and deep subject knowledge. We recognise each child as a unique individual and our curriculum is designed and adapted for pupils of all abilities. In Key Stage 1 (Years 1-2), the foundations of fluent reading, confident oral skills and strong number sense are built systematically. There is an early emphasis on vocabulary and reading fluency to enable children of all abilities and backgrounds to access the full breadth of the curriculum. In Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6), pupils continue to develop their linguistic and number skills, together with an additional emphasis on developing critical thinking skills. As children move through Key Stage 2, they receive increasing opportunities to experience independence of thought and action, to support them in their transition to secondary school. Throughout the Primary phase, children’s personal development is a priority, with a strong PSHE programme, individually tailored interventions and opportunities, high levels of trust and a focus on building morally strong, positive and resilient individuals who love learning and have ambition for themselves and their peers. Where possible, children are exposed to exciting learning opportunities linked to their curriculum topics. 2026-2027 Primary Trips & Cultural Capital Experiences 219 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/george-mitchell-school-2/files/documents/2026-2027_Primary_Trips_-_Cultural_Capital_Experiences_1_(4).docx.pdf) ## Year Group Overviews Year 1 120 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/george-mitchell-school-2/files/documents/Y1-Curriculum-Map-2024-25.pdf) Year 2 120 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/george-mitchell-school-2/files/documents/Y2-Curriculum-Map-2024-25.pdf) Year 3 126 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/george-mitchell-school-2/files/documents/Y3-Curriculum-Map-2024-25.pdf) Year 4 121 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/george-mitchell-school-2/files/documents/Y4-Curriculum-Map-2024-25.pdf) Year 5 125 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/george-mitchell-school-2/files/documents/Y5-Curriculum-Map-2024-25.pdf) Year 6 124 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/george-mitchell-school-2/files/documents/Y6-Curriculum-Map-2024-25.pdf) ## Curriculum Subjects The following subjects are taught at George Mitchell Primary.
