About the Curriculum
The programme of study at Lancing Prep Hove covers Key Stages 1 to 3 and is based on the three core themes of Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Living in the Wider World. Within these themes there is broad overlap and flexibility. The programme groups the units to be taught and Years 1 and 2 follow the same units.
It is a two year programme which allows for a wider and deeper coverage of PSHE education and Citizenship and is divided into twelve half-termly topics, six in Year A and six in Year B. The focus in Year A is mainly on personal and interpersonal relationships and health issues. This is widened out in Year B to include social and economic relationships, including international relationships.
