The basic national curriculum in primary school consists of the core subjects; English, Mathematics, Science, RE and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) and the foundation subjects of Geography, History, PE, Art, Music, DT and Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) and Citizenship.
