The role of the primary curriculum is to develop core literacy and numeracy knowledge alongside key social skills to enable students to start their journey towards being lifelong learners. By engineering explicit cross-curricular links within english, maths, science and other foundation subjects, students will develop interests and confidence to do further research to promote a love for learning. This love for learning will carve the path for aspirations and career dreams as they continue to learn. Through the development of literacy skills - especially reading - the students' communication skills & independence will support their ability to be lifelong learners. Developing numeracy skills through direct links to real life contexts will enable them to solve problems and build their resilience to tackle future challenges inside and out of learning contexts.
