Curriculum Organisation
There is evidence that teaching subject knowledge and skills as part of a wider topic-based curriculum allows children to make useful links between areas of learning, and consolidate skills. Children are also likely to be more engaged in their learning if it has a context and theme that runs through it. Hooton Pagnell All Saints Primary School has therefore developed a thematic curriculum to deliver the majority of the National Curriculum. Others are taught discretely. The timetable is carefully considered to ensure that pupils experience a broad range of learning opportunities, and that the curriculum is not narrowed.
The following subjects are taught discretely:
-
English (some links made through Novel study)
-
Maths
-
Physical Education
-
Religious Education
-
Modern Foreign Languages
The following subjects are taught thematically:
-
Science
-
History
-
Geography
-
Art
-
Design Technology
-
Music
-
PSHE
Each termly plan has a core curriculum driver taken from either Science, History or Geography programme of study. Curriculum delivery is planned around a thought-provoking ‘hook in or catalyst’ question which encourages a sense of curiosity in our children. Independence and resilience are encouraged through the involvement of children in uncovering new information for themselves to reach an answer.
