About the Primary Knowledge Curriculum:
The Primary Knowledge Curriculum (PKC) places “powerful knowledge” at the heart of learning, empowering children to acquire knowledge that takes them beyond their lived experiences. Through a deep respect of the traditions of each unique subject, the PKC recognises the identity of the disciplines that are studied. Our vision, and intent, was to create a specified, well-sequenced, and ambitious curriculum for all children. We are dedicated to diversity and always work to ensure children see themselves in their curriculum journey, through the people they encounter, the stories they hear and the places they study.
The Primary Knowledge Curriculum Partnership is a network of primary schools dedicated to the delivery of a knowledge-rich curriculum. By joining the Partnership, schools become part of a community of like-minded teachers, who collaborate to enrich pupils’ lives through providing them with a well-sequenced, knowledge-rich curriculum.
The aims of the PKC Partnership are to:
• Support schools to embed a coherent, well-sequenced knowledge-rich curriculum
• Create a network of like-minded schools
• Provide high-quality professional development to school leaders and teachers
• Reduce teacher workload
