Curriculum Page Introduction
At Bagthorpe Primary School, we believe every child deserves a happy childhood filled with memories that will last a lifetime. Our ambition is for all children to learn for life, grow together, and achieve their best.
This page showcases how our curriculum offer helps us realise that ambition. While our curriculum and personal development provision are deeply intertwined—each enhancing the other—we've created dedicated pages to explore and celebrate these distinct but overlapping areas.
Through our curriculum, we aim to provide a rich and engaging learning experience that fosters curiosity, deepens understanding, and inspires a love of learning. Here, you’ll discover how our thoughtfully designed curriculum equips our children with the knowledge, skills, and values they need to succeed academically and thrive in life.

Exemplar Sticky Knowledge (Specificity) Plans
Our Sticky Knowledge Maps outline how the specific ‘sticky’ knowledge that the children will gain at each stage, is organised and built upon year by year to achieve progression, and to support knowledge retrieval by making three-dimensional links:
• between prior and future learning (vertical links)
• to other knowledge across the year and subjects (horizontal links)
• to other areas in other year groups (diagonal links)
The plans are designed to build children’s procedural knowledge (or ‘disciplinary’ ie skills) and their declarative knowledge (or ‘substantive’ ie factual) to deepen their understanding.
