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.
