The Progression of Skills documents at St Vincent’s outline the step-by-step journey of learning and development for every child from Early Years through to Year 6. Designed to build on prior knowledge, these documents clearly map out how key concepts, practical techniques and critical thinking evolve within each subject area year by year. By structuring our curriculum this way, we ensure that every lesson provides a meaningful foundation, enabling pupils to consolidate earlier learning while systematically tackling more complex concepts as they grow.

Each subject document highlights the specific skills, specialist vocabulary and core concepts taught across each key stage. This cohesive framework helps teachers design engaging, targeted lessons tailored to each developmental stage, while allowing parents to see exactly how their child’s learning advances. At St Vincent’s, our progression maps ensure every pupil benefits from a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum that nurtures curiosity and inspires lifelong confidence in learning.
