The National Curriculum ensures that all children have access to a common body of essential knowledge to which they are all entitled.  At Hauxton we are determined to provide a curriculum that ensures all children gain a common body of essential knowledge, whilst also giving them a multitude of opportunities to flourish intellectually, artistically and physically enabling them to develop personal and social skills which will ensure they contribute fully and successfully in our ever- changing world! We have achieved an effective curriculum because we have a balance between what we must teach and what we like to teach to meet the unique needs of our children in our local community whilst bringing our aims and values to life!

Hauxton Primary is committed to providing an outstanding curriculum which is centred around ‘Developing the Individual’ by placing equal importance on academic development and personal development. We take a holistic view of each child and are determined to develop children’s cultural capital by fostering the values of Community, Engagement, Apriration & Respect. Children at Hauxton are valued learners that flourish and grow spiritually, morally, socially and culturally.

Our aim is to deliver a carefully designed, planned and organised curriculum that challenges, engages and inspires children to become confident, successful learners that achieve their best and this is a key driving force.

We followed the three principles below when planning our curriculum;

• We ensured that the content is relevant to our children and is purposeful.
• We ensured the content is engaging by finding inspiriting and innovative ways to deliver the content.
• We ensured that standards are at the centre of our planning and design.

We are determined to ensure that our curriculum provides breadth, balance and depth for every learner across every area of the curriculum in our school.

Mixed Year Group Teaching- Information for Parents

Mixed year group teaching, has strong practice in many schools across the  country. As a school we have invested a lot of time and resources into researching and planning a strong curriculum for our mixed year group classes, in line with both the National Curriculum and also our high expectations at Hauxton Primary School.  We believe we have put together an excellent curriculum for our pupils in the mixed years, as well as for the school as a whole.

 Our curriculum is broad and balanced, providing opportunities for children to experience a wide range of areas of learning and the full National Curriculum. It is underpinned with a rigorous approach to the teaching and learning of reading, writing and mathematics. However, all subjects have value and importance and children will experience all of them throughout their time at our school. 

 All our subjects are taught progressively throughout our school with clear progressions of skills to ensure that skills and content are introduced and revisited at appropriate times throughout a child’s educational journey.

 Our curriculum ensures we meet all of the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum (2014), but it also goes above and beyond this, providing rich learning experiences and opportunities such as theme weeks, school trips and visitors. This also delivers excellent personal development learning for our children, as recognised by Ofsted 2022.
