National Curriculum
Long Term Subject Sequencing Plan
A forensic mapping of subject coverage, key texts, and content references aligned with Oak National Academy and AQA Assessment Objectives.
1. The Statement of Curricular Intent
At Elevated Futures Education, our curriculum is architected to ensure that every student travels along the Elevation Arc from awakening to autonomy. This Long Term Plan (LTP) provides the forensic detail required to demonstrate how we meet the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum while maintaining the clinical integrity of our neuro, affirming practice.
We utilise the Oak National Academy Subject Learning Maps as our technical skeleton. This ensures that knowledge builds deliberately across terms, with key concepts revisited through a mastery approach. This sequencing allows for the successful retrieval of information and the long, term retention of knowledge required for AQA assessment success.
2. Alignment and Scaffolding
Subject coverage is benchmarked against the British standard, but the implementation is adapted through the DELSA framework. This ensures that cognitive load is modulated, sensory baselines are respected, and learning is grounded in individual superpowers.
