Curriculum Map

This curriculum map provides an overview of the construction journey students will experience throughout the academic year. It outlines the sequence of theoretical learning, trade-specific skill development, and hands-on practical tasks, alongside key assessment points designed to monitor and support student progress. The curriculum is carefully sequenced to build knowledge progressively, with each unit laying the groundwork for future learning. This ensures all students develop a secure understanding of the built environment, technical accuracy in trades such as joinery, plumbing, and decorating, and the ability to work safely and effectively within industry contexts.
