The IPC Specialist Programme

The IPC integrates ICT, Art, PE and Music into many of its units. Through these subjects and others children are able to respond in different and exciting ways to the themes they are studying. When they do this, children are both using and developing their knowledge and skills in each subject.

But ICT, Art, PE and Music also contain a range of technical skills that have to be introduced before they can be used, and this can be a problem for non-specialist teachers or for specialist teachers who don’t normally teach primary-age children.

So, in response to requests from teachers in IPC schools, we have developed the Specialist Subject Programme. Each unit set focuses on one of the four subjects and provides milepost by milepost advice to teachers on how to help children learn the important subject skills of each in a way appropriate to their age.

Together with the 70+ units of work, the Assessment for Learning Programme, the Early Years Programme and the unique membership package, The IPC Subject Specialist Programme is another components that makes the IPC a truly comprehensive curriculum.
