Principles of Progression

Progression in learning should always be at the heart of curriculum design rather than starting with a theme and fitting the learning to it. In selecting curriculum content, schools and practitioners must use the principles of progression to inform their approach to progression. The principles of progression provide a mandatory requirement of what progression must look like for learners, and as well as the overarching principles,  principles of progression are also described in the context of each Area. 

Schools and practitioners must use these principles to inform all learning in supporting progression, recognising that learners progress at different paces.
