Our Topic Web

Northway uses a two year rotating cycle of half termly topics as a means to reinforce and generalise learning throughout the school; this enables staff to work together in the preparation of resources and fosters a shared sense of community.
Having a topic for each half term allows us to explore a wide range of subjects, have a basis to focus teaching on and develop cross curricular learning. In the second half of the autumn term the topic is flexible and agreed by teachers and generally related to the Winter Show.

The topics are as follows:
