Curriculum

At Lorton School, our broad and balanced curriculum is progressive, skills-based, rich in vocabulary and knowledge, and delivered through the CUSP Curriculum (Curriculum by Unity Schools Partnership), aligned with the Key Stage 1 & 2 National Curriculum. In the Early Years, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework, and we enhance learning with schemes and programmes such as Twinkl Phonics, Accelerated Reader, Hamilton Maths, PE Passport, and JIGSAW PSHE.

These frameworks guide our curriculum choices and sequencing, ensuring systematic progression and effective learning across the school. Lessons are delivered in a fun and engaging way that meets the individual needs of each child, promotes deep learning, and helps children grow into confident, successful, and resilient learners.

Our school benefits from strong community links and a beautiful setting in the Lorton Valley, which shapes our teaching and learning. Children’s natural curiosity about their local environment is nurtured through a creative and ambitious curriculum, offering challenges and exciting opportunities. Each year, children enjoy overnight stays in the local area, bringing the Geography curriculum to life.

We also provide a range of enrichment experiences to enhance the curriculum. For more information, please see our Enhancement Experiences section below.

Our curriculum aims to nurture and prepare children educationally, socially, morally, and physically, opening doors to future success and lifelong learning.
