Skills and knowledge progression

For each subject, the National Curriculum sets out what skills should be taught in each year group or phase. At West Drayton Academy, skills are arranged into ‘progression grids’ to map the learning journey across the school, from EYFS to Year 6.

Year on year, using key concepts that groups subject content, pupils grow their knowledge by building on prior learning. Key concept information, from Early Years to Year 6, is assembled into ‘journeys’.
