Curriculum at YA

Here at Yarborough, we take the latest research to build an outstanding curriculum offer.

We take the best bits and make it our own!

Our teaching and learning is based upon the principles of:

Project Based Learning

Chris Quigley Education

Schema Theory

Threshold Concepts

Retrieval Practice

Cognitive Load Theory

Trauma Informed Practice

We teach through a mixture of Projects, Mini themes and Stand alone lessons. The curriculum is engaging, immersive and purposeful and is explored through Threshold Concepts and Knowledge Categories which are consistent throughout Years 1 - 6. Progression is through Milestone Indicators and the concepts of Basic, Advancing and Deep understanding.
