Curriculum Organisation

There is evidence that teaching subject knowledge and skills as part of a wider topic-based curriculum allows pupils 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. Kenilworth Primary School has therefore developed a thematic curriculum to deliver the majority of the National Curriculum 2014.  Some subjects 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 list is the subjects taught: some are taught discretely using schemes.

• Phonics (Little Wandle)
• English (Essential Writing)
• Maths (Essential Maths)
• Physical Education (Complete PE)
• Religious Education (Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus)
• Modern Foreign Languages (Language Angels)
• Science (Kent Primary Scheme of Work)
• Computing (Purple Mash)
• PSHE (Jigsaw)
• Art (Access Art)
• Design Technology (DT Association)
• History
• Geography
• Music

Each half-termly plan has a core curriculum driver taken from either the 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 pupils. Independence and resilience are encouraged through the involvement of pupils in uncovering new information for themselves to reach an answer.
