Curriculum:
In KS2 we continue to study….maths, english, history, geography, computing, art and design, music, design technology and PE. A language is added and at Cawood we teach French.
As the curriculum widens and deepens the strain on timetable means every second counts!

Children need to become more independent as they progress through the school.
Please encourage them to come into class on their own. They need to be responsible for their own routines.
