The Essentials Curriculum (File and Website)

Essentials is a simple to use Primary Curriculum that helps you to:

Plan for Breadth
Plan for Progress
Assess and record progress.

It includes all National Curriculum subjects and exceeds the requirements of the National Curriculum. Its clear, simple layout splits each subject into four sections:

Essential Characteristics
Breadth of Study
Threshold Concepts
Progress Milestones.

The Essentials Curriculum website contains materials to help you to plan for progress in all subjects and assess pupil progress in core subjects.

The website allows up to 15 users (additional users may be purchased), access to all the resources including assessment and planning materials.

If you require more users for the Essentials website, please get in contact with us directly.

This event was part of a really important piece of work in our 3 trust schools beginning to collaborate on curricular development and staff felt Chris delivered a really useful session in cementing their understanding of the fundamentals. It gave opportunity for staff to link back to the design of the Essentials Curriculum and how to effectively use the Curriculum Companion products that each school has access to. I would rate my booking as excellent. Good communication throughout the process from booking to delivery. Many thanks for your support.

Great feedback from Ofsted for one of the schools we work with. The school also uses our Essentials Curriculum:

The school has established a well-designed, broad and ambitious curriculum. It
clearly sets out and sequences the important information that pupils need to know
in all subjects from the early years to Year 6. This helps pupils to build on what they
already know. Ofsted School Report November 2023

Thank you for all your support in helping me get our curriculum off the ground. Couldn't have done it without Chris Quigley Associates. The curriculum comments are about the Essentials Curriculum.
