curriculum design doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
We know curriculum design can be overwhelming, especially with increasing workloads and an ever-changing educational landscape. We also know that some primary leaders and teachers often work with a fragmented, disjointed curriculum that lacks coherence and clarity.
We can help. Every primary school is unique, and we’ll enable you to build the right curriculum for your teachers, leaders and pupils. Sonar Curriculum enables leaders to lead and teachers to teach!
Why teach subjects when you can grow experts?
In the primary sector, foundation subjects can often end up diluted through a thematic or topic-based approach. Children can find it hard to articulate which area of the curriculum they are focusing on.
With Sonar Curriculum, children are equipped with the skills, knowledge and understanding to become experts in all areas, with cumulative fluency built into every subject.

About Sonar Curriculum
Sonar Curriculum is an innovative way of designing and delivering the curriculum across your school through a robust, rigorous framework. Objectives across all subjects are sequenced and standardised to ensure progress and enable children to build on prior knowledge.
It provides clarity around curriculum intent while allowing flexibility around implementation, allowing leaders and teachers to create a curriculum that exactly matches the needs of their community.
There are three key options. Our Map Maker tool and Curriculum Toolkit enable you to build your own bespoke, context-specific curriculum maps based on the needs of your children and community.
Also, there are two fully resourced and planned implementation opportunities.
The Subject-Specific Curriculum targets a smaller number of curriculum areas with units of learning lasting between 2-4 weeks. The Thematic Curriculum encompasses a more significant number of curriculum areas with units of learning lasting approximately six weeks.
