At Launcelot, we are committed to providing a broad and balanced curriculum that fosters academic excellence, personal growth, and a love for learning. Our curriculum is carefully designed to meet the requirements of the UK National Curriculum while being tailored to the unique needs and interests of our pupils. We strive to create a diverse, representative and creative curriculum where every child can achieve their full potential.
Our curriculum is designed to be dynamic and inclusive, ensuring that each child is engaged and challenged appropriately. Through our creative curriculum, we deliver core and foundation subjects in a meaningful and enjoyable way for children to learn, encouraging them to explore new areas of interest and develop a lifelong passion for discovery.
Art
Art enables children to express themselves creatively while developing skills in drawing, painting, sculpture, and other media. They explore the work of great artists and designers and learn to evaluate their own and others’ work. Creativity and imagination are encouraged in all lessons.

They also begin to develop coding and problem-solving skills. To view our computing curriculum policy, click here.
Design and Technology (DT)

Geography inspires children to be curious about the world and its people. They learn about places, environments, and physical and human processes, from local geography to global issues.
