Through our use of the Dimensions: Learning Means the World Curriculum, Our children are split into 4 age groups. These groups are Explorers (EYFS), Pathfinders (KS1), Adventurers (LKS2) and Navigators (UKS2). Each of the thematic units taught in each age group aim to develop different traits and skills in the children as they progress through their learning pathway. These are as follows:

Pathfinders 2025/2026 theme cycle

Adventurers 2025/2026 theme cycle

As our Pathfinders (KS1) children are currently in mixed Year 1/2 classes, we follow a two-yearly cycle. For the academic year 2025/26 we are following Theme Cycle B in the document above.
