Y3 Curriculum Overview
Welcome to our Year 3 curriculum page. We believe that children have a right to expect a curriculum which is fun, motivating, interesting and most importantly purposeful.
We think Acre Heads Primary brings something special to every child that walks through our doors – we offer an exciting curriculum experience to all our children. Our school ethos is built on our core values: BELIEF, DETERMINATION, RESILIENCE and TEAMWORK and enables children to achieve extraordinary things.
On this page, you will find further information about our Year 3 curriculum, useful videos, links and resources for starting Year 3 with insights into the activities and learning environments within the year group.
Contact your child’s class:
