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:

Explorers ‘Have a go!’ experimental curious confident co-operative

Pathfinders Find a way!’ innovative decisive creative independent

Adventurers ‘Make it happen!’ brave risk-takers resilient prepared

Navigators ‘Lead the way!’ leaders able to apply skills overcomers focused
