The neuro-inclusive Year 1 Heal Earth curricula builds a foundational connection to nature through sensory-aware, experiential learning. Pupils develop curiosity, observation skills and confidence before progressing into more complex environmental concepts.

Term 1: Sensory Awakening introduces safe sensory exploration of soil, sound, wind and local nature.

Term 2: Living Systems explores seeds, germination, plant growth and food origins through active care.

Term 3: Cycles & Seasons introduces weather, evaporation, seasonal change, habitats and early climate literacy.

Year 4 Curriculum: Empowering Climate Innovators

Year 5 Curriculum: Earth's Complex Systems and Human Impacts

Year 6 Curriculum: Transformative Journey to Future Builders

The neuro-inclusive Year 5 Heal Earth programme develops a deeper understanding of Earth as an interconnected planetary system and examines how human activity influences the processes that sustain life.

Term 1: Earth's Spheres explores the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere, oceans, rocks, tectonics and biomes.

Term 2: The Carbon Cycle & Energy Flows investigates carbon cycling, greenhouse gases, climate data, soil carbon and feedback systems.

Term 3: Stewardship & Mitigation introduces planetary boundaries, biodiversity, resilience, governance and environmental stewardship.

The neuro-inclusive Year 2 Heal Earth curricula develops pupils' understanding of how energy, weather, food and biodiversity interact within dynamic natural systems.

Term 1: Energy & Weather investigates sunlight, shadows, wind, temperature, evaporation and condensation.

Term 2: Food Networks explores food journeys, resources, composting and sustainable food systems.

Term 3: Biodiversity investigates pollinators, habitats, food chains and local biodiversity through observation and enquiry.

The neuro-inclusive Year 3 Heal Earth curricula introduces the wider sustainability challenges connected to water, energy, food, waste and resource use while developing practical systems-thinking and problem-solving skills.

Term 1: Water & Energy Networks explores water systems, hidden water use, electricity networks and renewable energy.

Term 2: Future of Food & Waste introduces waste lifecycles, decomposition, composting, packaging and circular thinking.

Term 3: The Solutions Lab uses design thinking to identify environmental challenges, develop ideas, test solutions and communicate improvements.

The neuro-inclusive Year 4 Heal Earth programme empowers pupils to explore the science, technology and social systems shaping climate action while developing increasingly sophisticated environmental reasoning.

Term 1: Energy Systems & Inequality explores electricity generation, renewable energy, the grid, energy access and fairness.

Term 2: Tech for Climate investigates wind, solar, satellites, environmental data, biomimicry, coding and smart-city design.

Term 3: Global Cooperation & Carbon connects carbon science with mitigation, adaptation, climate justice and international cooperation.

The neuro-inclusive Year 6 Heal Earth programme culminates the primary journey by transforming pupils into confident Future Builders who can analyse systems, evaluate solutions and design more regenerative and equitable futures.

Term 1: Futures Thinking & Innovation explores strategic foresight, backcasting, emerging technologies and responsible innovation.

Term 2: Regenerative Agriculture investigates soil biology, carbon, crop diversity, Indigenous agricultural knowledge, hydroponics and sustainable food systems.

Term 3: Circular Economies & Social Equity explores circular design, climate justice, sharing systems and partnerships before culminating in a meaningful Legacy Project.

The Heal Earth Primary Neuro-Inclusive Environment, Climate & Sustainability Curriculum is a six-year transformative journey that empowers children to move from sensory wonder to systemic agency.

Designed as neuro-inclusive modules, this curriculum treats the Earth not just as a subject to be studied, but as a partner for regulation, exploration, and innovation. By blending rigorous STEM inquiry with art and emotional literacy, we build the foundations for lifelong stewardship.

Sensory Wonder

Multimodal STEM

Systemic Agency

We connect children directly with natural elements to support emotional regulation and sensory exploration, turning outdoor environments into active learning partners.

We integrate hands-on science, creative arts, and diverse processing styles to build deep conceptual understanding, making complex climate systems accessible to every young learner.

We empower students to move from understanding to action, guiding them to design real-world climate solutions and build a strong sense of community agency.
