In order to make strong intrinsic links we have combined the following social, moral, digital skills, art, history and geography to ensure a rich curriculum. The above symbols are used in the success criteria in lessons, so the students are aware which skill and area of learning they are focusing on. This has enabled students to make strong links and improved the overall planning of the subjects.
