Our curriculum is also underpinned by British Values and SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development). These important strands are carefully woven throughout our curriculum, ensuring that pupils develop not only strong academic knowledge and skills, but also the understanding, attitudes and behaviours needed to become respectful, responsible and active members of society. The document above outlines how British Values and SMSC are embedded across subjects and wider school experiences, providing meaningful opportunities for pupils to learn, discover and thrive.

The document below outlines an overview of the progression of subjects across our curriculum.

At Swallowdale, we are continually seeking to build a community of readers and set aside time each day for staff to read aloud to each class. We select our reading for pleasure class novels from our school reading spine to ensure children are exposed to a range of inclusive books.
