Curriculum Rationale
At Howley Grange we strive to ensure that our curriculum enables all children to gain the wisdom and courage to make positive choices now, and in their futures.
Howley Grange is committed to providing children with an ambitious curriculum that is broad and balanced. We recognise the upmost importance of ensuring children gain fundamental literacy and numeracy skills and that they have opportunities to develop their individual interests and specialisms in a wide variety of subjects.
Staff plan key questions to encourage the use of enquiry, as well as focus on the acquisition and application of key subject knowledge, concepts and vocabulary throughout our school. Our curriculum is designed to help learners to remember the content they are taught in the long term and to integrate new knowledge into larger concepts. Parents, staff and most importantly our children tell us that they enjoy their learning and are eager to find out about the topics and themes, often choosing to take their learning beyond the classroom.
Our curriculum planning follows the National Curriculum. The link below will take you directly to the full document.
We also use resources published by external providers such as Rising Stars, White Rose Maths and Discovery RE to support teaching and enhance learning.
If you would like to know more about any aspect of our curriculum, please contact the school and ask to speak to a member of our Senior Leadership Team.
