Please be aware that whilst this curriculum map is a guide to what your son or daughter will be studying, the numbers 1 to 6 do not correspond
directly to weeks but rather to an order in which the work will ideally be covered. Due to space and resource limitations both PE and Science may
cover units of work in different orders for some groups. For these subjects it is useful to use this document in conjunction with the curriculum
maps for these subjects for the rest of the year. Please also be aware that units of work may be modified during the year due to changes in
statutory and non-statutory guidance as well as to meet the needs of particular pupils and groups.
