Core Knowledge UK provides British teachers, parents, grandparents and home educators with the educational resources to help children succeed. Gradually developed and refined by teachers and educational specialists, the Core Knowledge Sequence UK is a year-by-year outline of the specific and shared content and skills to be taught in Years 1 to 6. The Core Knowledge Sequence UK is the backbone of the Core Knowledge UK curriculum, a springboard for learning that provides the foundation for a sound, well-rounded education in the arts, humanities and sciences. Core Knowledge UK resource books provide guidance, support, and concrete activities for teachers, parents, grandparents and home educators to use with children to develop their strong foundation of knowledge.

Origins of Core Knowledge UK
In order to thrive in a free and democratic society, children must secure a shared, foundational knowledge necessary to exercise effective citizenship. The Core Knowledge Foundation has provided effective and practical solutions to pervasive inequalities in schooling since 1986. The American Core Knowledge curriculum was piloted in Three Oaks Elementary School in Florida in 1990. Today it is used in hundreds of schools across America and Civitas is adapting the American Core Knowledge Sequence and pioneering the use of Core Knowledge UK resources in British schools. Alongside research on UK domestic policy, Civitas runs several supplementary education projects, including supplementary Civitas Schools and the Civitas EU Project that supplies over 700 schools with resources to enrich A-level students' education on EU issues and arranges for speakers to debate EU matters at host schools.
