Making Connections

Adjacencies

Subjects of the curriculum neatly organise knowledge and skills into manageable groups but real problems often cut across this. Which subject areas should be next to which to encourage cross subject working? What are the desirable adjacencies?

Subject Zones or Faculties

Concept arrangement of subject zones or faculties to explore possible adjacencies

• what do you think happens or might be taught in each of the named areas?
• what curriculum opportunities would such an arrangement promote?
• can you think of other names for some of the spaces and would this change the impression of what they are for?

Science/DT/Art Zone

Concept arrangement of subject areas to explore opportunities for joint working between Art-Design-Technology-Science and others

• what do you think happens or might be taught in each of the named areas?
• what curriculum opportunities for joint working would such an arrangement promote?
• can you think of other names for some of the spaces and would this change the impression of what they are for?
• what might the central space or the outdoor spaces be used for?
