9 Thematic units per year group of which only 5 or 6 will be needed.
Units include all subjects except for Maths, PE, MFL and RE (although this could be easily linked in).
Each unit should last about half a term, but some could be made to last longer if required.
Units within a phase may be moved to the other year group.
Each unit begins with an "inspiration day" - a day off timetable to excite and motivate the learner about the unit to come.
Each unit includes an idea for "Mantle of the Expert" - a "company" in which they would learn in order to become experts to service the needs of a client.
Time tabling is simplified if all text level lessons are seen as linked to cross curricular learning.
ICT is intrinsic to the learning in all subjects
Units cover NC pos.
Planning is simplified so that one short term plan covers a week's themed learning.
