Creating plans for single aged classes

Creating plans for single aged classes

Within your live curriculum, the Class Plans area is used to arrange all of the projects that you have added to your curriculum for a specific cohort/class in the specific order for teaching.  If you are using a model curriculum, this will have already been done for you, and you simply need to assign the plan to the relevant class. If you are designing your own curriculum from scratch, you will need to create the plans yourself.

If your school has mixed aged classes, or a combination of single aged and mixed aged classes, please read our planning guidance here: Creating plans for mixed aged classes.

Creating a class plan

  1. On the sidebar menu, go to Design and lead then Live curriculum and click on the Class plans tab at the top of the page.
  2. Click 'Add' > 'Add plan'.
  3. Give the plan a title (we recommend keeping this short and generic, such as 'Y4 plan').
  4. Select a year group (the projects and their terms will then be automatically selected).
  5. Click 'Save'.
  6. Click the number of projects in the plan.
  7. Drag and drop the projects into the correct order (if necessary).
Repeat this step until you have created your plans. Then follow the steps below to assign each plan to a class (or multiple classes).
IdeaMultiple classes can use the same plan. For example, if Class 4a and Class 4b are following the same projects, they can both be assigned to the Y4 plan. Alternatively, you can create a copy of the Y4 plan so that each class teacher can make their own changes.

Assigning classes to plans

Each plan needs to be assigned to a class (or multiple classes).
  1. Click Add classes or Add/remove classes in the Classes column.
  2. Tick the class(es) that will use the plan.
  3. Click 'Save'.
Repeat this step until all plans have been assigned to classes. The next step is to let your teachers know they can start editing their class plan to make it bespoke for their class.

Editing or removing a plan

If you ever need to edit or delete a plan or cycle, click the settings icon next to the plan name and select either Edit (to edit the plan name) or Delete. Then follow the onscreen instructions to delete the class plan.
