London Curriculum

The London Curriculum uses the capital as inspiration to bring the national curriculum to life at key stages 2 and 3.  Each unit focuses on a theme linked to London and contains lesson plans and activity ideas to support teaching in many subjects across the curriculum. Though based around London, many of the lesson plans and activities may also be used by teachers outside of the capital.

The London Curriculum has been provided by the Greater London Authority, (GLA).
