This resource is aimed at teachers who work with mixed-aged classes. The outline includes all the units available as short-term plans from Focus Education.
When considering the planning for mixed-aged groups, we have taken account of the coverage of the 2014 National Curriculum, as it provides some support and direction in terms of the substantive and disciplinary knowledge pupils should acquire as they move through the school.

We have predominantly focused on teachers working with Years 1 and 2 together (but also provide support for those working with reception, Years 1 and 2 together), Years 3 and 4 together and Years 5 and 6 together. Therefore, we have created two-year cycles to ensure no pupil replicates the coverage.

There is an appreciation that some teachers work with different combinations, e.g., Years 2 and 3. Although these year groups are not explicitly outlined, the system used here could be replicated for any combined-age group. The Focus Education consultants are pleased to support schools with different age groups.  Contact our customer services for more pricing information.

For history planning, the disciplinary knowledge we wish pupils to acquire remains in year groups, with the content remaining the same for the mixed-aged group. For example, the coverage theme is the same for both age groups, but the disciplinary knowledge is set out hierarchically. In history, British chronology must remain in sequential order. Therefore, the learning about the 'change in British history from Stone Age to 1066' has been maintained by ensuring that one cycle looks predominantly at British chronology while the other looks at Ancient Civilisations.

The early years examples link Key Stage 1 with the development matters document, so the planning sequence starts in EYFS and moves on to Year 6.

Also available for Geography and Science.
