The Wider Curriculum
At Hambrough we have developed a broad, balanced and engaging wider curriculum in line with the National Curriculum 2014. We teach a thematic based approach through which Science, History, Geography, Art, Computing and Design Technology are taught.
In line with our Rights Respecting School ethos and our drive to address the Sustainable Development Goals, where possible, all topics have a link to local, national and global issues. The school has also considered the strengths and areas for development of our local community, thus ensuring the children are given the cultural capital they need to succeed in life.
Each topic has been carefully planned to enable to children to learn new skills and gain ‘sticky’ knowledge whilst making links and building upon prior learning. The curriculum is vocabulary rich, ensuring the children are exposed to a wide range of language.
The teachers then share the topic knowledge organisers with the children. These organisers outline the key knowledge, topic specific vocabulary and high quality texts that will be used throughout.
