Education expert Sir Jim Rose conducted the most significant review of the primary school curriculum in a decade.

His task was to propose a curriculum which would inspire primary children to become life-long learners and give teachers greater flexibility as well as to develop children’s personal skills.

Sir Jim also recommended organising the primary curriculum into six new areas of learning. These would be:

•understanding English, communication and languages

•mathematical understanding

•understanding the arts

•historical, geographical and social understanding

•understanding physical development, health and wellbeing

•scientific and technological understanding

In a nutshell this means we have been given the opportunity to provide a curriculum to meet the needs of Roman Road's children.

As a staff we have been working hard to deliver lessons that are exciting, fun and challenging. We are inspired by the opportunity to meet lots of exciting visitors or visit amazing places and to create new and exciting experiences for you all.

However you are IMPORTANT! We want your views, ideas and suggestions to help make our curriculum outstanding and one that everyone can't wait to share in.

So, how can you go about this?
