At Bewick Bridge, the SP curriculum takes place on Tuesday-Friday afternoons for two hours. The rest of the week is with class teachers as usual. During SP time, children are taught Science and foundation subjects by teachers who specialise in these subjects, either because they are passionate about these subjects or because they have a background in studying these subjects.
