The purpose of our curriculum at Hose Church of England Primary School is to open the door to the world beyond our village for our children. We want children who leave Hose Primary School to be full of knowledge and wonder for the world they live in and ready to take on challenges with confidence and pride.
In history, geography and science we have developed our own 'home grown' curricula in order to ensure topics and themes studied are relevant to the needs of our children and context. Subject specific golden threads have been identified which are revisited across year groups to broaden children's understanding of key concepts and big ideas. Core knowledge is identified for individual topics and revisited in a variety of ways to support children's acquisition of knowledge and skills. We are ensuring children know more, remember more and make links with prior learning and have the opportunity to consolidate their thoughts and ideas.
In subjects where we are using educational schemes to support learning, we have researched and chosen those that fit closely to our developing curriculum principles. Staff have then worked to adapt them to meet the needs of our very specific context of small mixed age classes and to ensure they compliment the work undertaken in other subject areas.
