Curriculum Maps are available on the Bushey Meads School website to support families in understanding what students will be learning throughout the year. These clear, week by week guides outline the topics taught in every subject and year group, helping parents and carers see how learning builds over time. They can be used to support learning at home by preparing for upcoming topics, revisiting previous learning and encouraging more informed conversations about lessons. For students, Curriculum Maps provide a clear sense of direction and help them understand how different areas of learning connect.
Curriculum Maps have been produced for all subjects and are available on the school website under the Student Information section. They offer greater transparency, support consistency across subjects and strengthen the partnership between school and home by making learning expectations clear and accessible. They can be accessed directly by visiting https://busheymeads.org.uk/
