Curriculum Statement

Hook Infant School Curriculum Statement

At Hook Infant School, we are passionate about promoting and instilling a love for learning alongside developing the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all children. We do this through providing an exciting and stimulating curriculum where all children are motivated to learn, share their ideas, value and respect each other’s contributions and achieve their best. We aim to provide pupils with the knowledge and skills needed to become lifelong independent, resilient learners and thinkers, and confident, happy, articulate, and online safe citizens.

 

In Year R, the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum is carefully planned and tailored to the needs and interests of the children and is delivered through play in an interactive and exciting setting that encourages them to explore and make sense of their own surroundings, in both the indoor and outdoor areas - whatever the weather. In Years 1 and 2, the National Curriculum is embedded and enhanced through exciting half termly topics which the children contribute to designing based on what they already know and what they may like to find out. Our Trailblazers initiative for all year groups further enhances our rich curriculum by ensuring that learning is facilitated through indoor and outdoor activities and through this creative approach, enables us to make learning meaningful, relevant and engaging.

 

Developing the whole child is of key importance, and with this in mind, we offer a broad and balanced curriculum based on our vision of ‘Every child, Every day, Every Future’ which encompasses our School values of Respect, Kindness, Perseverance, Teamwork and Courage and the fundamental British values of Democracy, The Rule of Law, Individual Liberty and Mutual Respect and Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
