Curriculum Statement

Our curriculum offer is informed by our School Vision, Principles and Key Drivers. 

Intent

At Camp Hill Primary School, we deliver a curriculum under pinned by our key drivers: Compassion, Community and Communication.

We offer rich and creative opportunities for children to learn and grow in a warm, caring and safe environment. Pastoral support and high regard for children’s mental health and well-being thread through all that we do.

We invest heavily in working with the community and families so that all our learners are fully enabled, engaged, supported and equipped.

Our broad and balanced curriculum promotes diversity and inclusion. We inspire learners through high quality first-hand experiences. This enables them to build on their existing and emerging talents and strengths.

Central to our curriculum is developing children’s communication skills so that they are able to maximise their learning potential, now and in the future. Where starting points are low, we focus on developing Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing alongside Maths and other National Curriculum subjects.

Our curriculum is designed to build on children’s prior knowledge and to support their cultural capital. We recognise the importance of starting with what children know and can do to develop and embed essential knowledge and skills.

Implementation

We organise our curriculum using two approaches: teaching of discrete subjects and through a thematic approach. Every opportunity is taken to develop learning links within and across subjects over time.

Children receive high quality teaching building systematically on previous learning through agreed Essential Elements to enable them to achieve their goals.

Children actively contribute to lessons and teaching is bespoke and personalised to their needs. Positive feedback is used to support and encourage.

Teachers work hard to instil a passion for learning in all learners that will last a lifetime.

Impact

We evaluate the impact of our curriculum through how well our curriculum contributes to our Vision, Principles and Key Drivers.

We use a wide range of monitoring strategies to provide us with useful information about impact including pupil data, curriculum documentation, pupil voice, books, questionnaires, displays, floor books, subject leader impact logs and we will continue to develop the evaluation process using these.

Curriculum Organisation

At Camp Hill Primary School, using Dimensions – Learning Means the World curriculum, we have developed a thematic approach to learning, that not only addresses all aspects of the National Curriculum, but engages and interests our children. Some subjects are taught as part of this thematic sequence of learning, but some subjects are taught discretely. The timetable has been carefully considered to ensure that our children experience a broad range of subjects and knowledge.

The following subjects are taught discretely: 

• English (Writing)
• Reading and Phonics
• Maths
• Religious Education
• Physical Education
• Modern Foreign Languages (French)
• PSHE and HRE
• Science

At Camp Hill Primary we have embarked on a curriculum that is outward-facing, relevant, nurturing, and inclusive. We want our pupils to become educated and responsible global citizens, developing their cultural capital, whilst teaching them all about human creativity and achievement.

The thematic units within Dimensions are cross-curricular in nature and the following subjects are taught: 

• Science
• History
• Geography
• Art
• Design Technology
• Computing
• Music
• PSHE

As well as more contemporary areas of study, such as sustainability and personal wellbeing. These are all set within a global context, but also explore more local aspects of the theme.

Here is an overview of the National Curriculum:

Subject Specific Pages

On each page you will find an introduction from the subject leader, details about how and why we teach this subject in this way, and important documents such as our subject rationales, long term plans across the school and our skills ladders for each subject.

Our priority is to ensure that the children at Camp Hill have childhood experiences that will enhance their school life, provide memorable fun, and develop a love of learning and a connection to our community and the world around us.

At Camp Hill Primary School we value home/school relationships and we want to work in partnership with our families to develop a love of learning through enriching experiences that will create wonderful memories, develop skills and nurture talent.

Here at Camp Hill we are committed to ensuring experiences extend far beyond the classroom, preparing children for life ahead.

Challenges are set during every holiday, where they will learn, investigate, observe, experience, play and enjoy the world around us outside school whilst making lasting memories.

Teachers will share these after every holiday with the rest of the school through an assembly to celebrate these successes.

Please take a look at some of the challenges we expect the children to enjoy!
