Curriculum coverage

What The School teaches, what it partly teaches, and what it does not teach yet — set against the statutory documents so anyone can check it. 414 curriculum domains are mapped across 13 subjects, from Early Years to GCSE, each marked taught, partly taught, planned or enrichment. Every domain and every named gap is listed on the page, not summarised.

Aligned to England, and only England

The mappings are made against the National Curriculum for England and the EYFS statutory framework. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland run separate curricula and are not covered. Each subject links its statutory programme of study so the alignment claim can be checked against the source rather than taken on trust.

What the states mean

  • Taught — authored lessons cover the domain at that key stage.
  • Partly taught — some of the domain is covered, and the remaining gap is named.
  • Planned — mapped and sequenced, not yet written.
  • Enrichment — taught here but not a statutory subject at that stage: all of Early Years, and Arabic before Year 3.

Two things we will not claim

Early Years is organised by areas of learning, not school subjects, so no EYFS lesson is presented as statutory English, science or computing. And England publishes no statutory Arabic syllabus — Arabic is a permitted modern foreign language aligned to the statutory Languages programme, with CEFR used only as supplementary progression guidance.

FAQ

Is this a full national curriculum?

No. It is a curated route through the curriculum domains, and the coverage page says exactly which parts are taught, partly taught or still planned. A school’s full scheme of work covers more.

How can I check the alignment?

Every subject links the statutory programme of study on gov.uk. Open it and compare it against the domain list — the page exists to make that possible.

Which curriculum is it aligned to?

The National Curriculum for England and the EYFS statutory framework, as in force on the date shown on the page.
