Primary Curriculum and Creative Learning By Dimensions

The Dimensions Toolkit is proving to be an invaluable resource to schools seeking to develop their own curriculum models, tailored specifically to meet the needs of their pupils. With a clear structure, Dimensions provide a framework within which personalisation can take place. There is nothing prescriptive about the resources and Dimensions is certainly not just another scheme of work.

We visit lots of schools using Dimensions and are always thrilled to see the many different ways in which the resources are being used effectively.

Consisting of three sections, the resources can be used and adapted according to the needs of individual schools.

Part One: Design Modules

Part Two: Skills Ladder

Part Three: Dimensions Model

The Dimensions Skills Ladder is an essential part of the Dimensions Creative Curriculum Toolkit.

It can also be used as a stand-alone resource, assisting with curriculum design to ensure focus on permanent, transferable skills. The focus of teaching and learning is then directed towards processes as well as outcomes.

• The Dimensions Skills Ladder provides comprehensive coverage of all skills by Curriculum Area, by subject AND by year group.
• The skills from the Skills Ladder are mapped in with the curriculum themes used in the Dimensions Model, making it easy to chart progression and continuity across each phase and within each theme.
• A set of Lifelong Learning Skills are provided to help equip pupils with the tools for effective, generic learning. These skills also come in the form of ‘I can’ statements.
• As there is a main focus on developing creativity within Dimensions, we have included a skills set which is not subject-bound and, when applied across the curriculum, will help to nurture the overall creativity of pupils. These skills are grouped under headings commonly recognised as key creative elements:

1. Imagination with purpose
2. Originality
3. Value

• The Skills Ladder comes in download format containing the following:- Curriculum Areas, Year groups, Creativity and Lifelong Learning skills. The files in each section contain all the Skills Ladder content in Microsoft Word format for ease of use, allowing you to copy and adapt for planning purposes.

The Dimensions Skills Ladder Tracking and Assessment System has been designed to be used in conjunction with the Skills Ladder, in direct response to requests from existing Dimensions schools.

The Dimensions Skills Ladder Assessment and Tracking System two main purposes:-

1. To track coverage - it provides teachers with a clear view of skills taught over the course of the year
2. To assess individual (or group) pupil progress - all curriculum areas are covered, making target-setting much easier
   
   

Organised into year groups to match directly with the Dimensions Skills Ladder, the pre-populated tracking sheets enable teachers to use our simple colour-coding system to monitor both coverage and achievement. The system is both meaningful and manageable and provides a practical way to apply Assessment for Learning across the curriculum.
