• Substantive Knowledge
  • Established facts, e.g. the earth is the planet on which we live.
• Disciplinary Knowledge
  • The methods that establish the substantive facts, e.g. observation of the sun, moon and stars, satellite photographs.

At The Greville we carefully identify what substantive and disciplinary knowledge children should acquire in every subject and at every stage of their learning. This ensures: secure foundations are laid; knowledge is carefully sequenced; retrieval practice deepens learning and goals are challenging. Knowledge is powerful, it unlocks doors and underpins success, understanding and creativity. At The Greville we recognise the more children are exposed to the more they develop and become inspired.
