OUR CURRICULUM

How and why we designed our curriculum for the children we have at Hallam Fields

At Hallam Fields we want all children to Thrive. We aim to develop resilient and confident children by supporting them with their emotional and social development. We believe every child needs to feel valued and be equipped with skills to be proud and ambitious in order to succeed.

When reviewing our curriculum, we felt as a school it was important for children to be able to transfer knowledge and skills between year groups. With this in mind we continue books across year groups so children can look back at previous leanring and so we can make connections.

As a school we have developed our use of Forest Schools over many years, ensuring all children experienced it in year three. From September 2019 we developed this across the school as we see the importance of our work in Forest Schools, not only for the skills and attitudes they develop but to support mental well being of children and staff. As a school who have embraced the Thrive Approach we have also ensured that we have a whole class Thrive Time each week where children develop social and emotional well being.

Below are our plans for each of the six terms for each year group to give an overview of what is being covered.

Individual subjects

For each subject in the curriculum, subject leads have identified Key Concepts which are to be taught throughout school. The idea is that children revisit these concepts in different year groups so that they develop their understanding of them in different contexts which deepens their learning and how they apply their understanding. Some concepts we have identified as being used in more than one curriculum area. You will find the concepts for each subject along with the overview for the subject and other key information by clicking on the subject below.
