Curriculum
Intent
The Holy Family curriculum aims to enable pupils to:
-
Value and understand the importance of their ongoing education.
-
Become confident, positive learners who make effective progress and achieve their potential.
-
Understand how to live a safe, healthy and happy life.
Implementation
-
Learning is purposefully planned to build upon prior learning and develop deeper understanding from FS – Y6.
-
Clear progression documents (based on the National Curriculum) account for how the curriculum is both spiral and interleaved; accounting for prior knowledge, key objectives (from the national curriculum), key vocabulary and key themes. We focus on both the journey our curriculum takes children on and the role of cognitive psychology to build up knowledge and skills.
-
A dialogic approach where teachers ‘Think Out Loud’ (Lets Think!) is being implemented in curriculum delivery to ensure pupils are able to engage with their learning and analyse their thoughts.
