Our curriculum is designed with pupils’ learning at the centre. At Hemlington Hall Academy, we offer an engaging curriculum that gives our children the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours that will enable them to succeed. It is not only designed to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum but to ignite a lifelong love of learning and a willingness to help others. It is our aim that our pupils are happy, well rounded and responsible citizens.
Intent
- We recognise that a curriculum has to be broad, balanced and offer pupils opportunities to grow as individuals as well as learners.
- Our curriculum is underpinned by the school motto, ‘Learning Together’. It encourages our children to consider themselves, others and the world around them; to be creative and independent in their thinking and their approach to learning; and to contribute to their own and each other’s learning.
- Is inclusive and meets the specific needs of all of our children by stimulating a love of learning, removing barriers, providing the depth and breadth of experiences necessary to challenge every child, and celebrating the achievements of all.
- Through a combination of learning techniques, we aim to ensure pupils enjoy learning and feel prepared for their next key stage and life after school.
- We also intend to offer our pupils new and exciting experiences through extra-curricular activities that are designed to build resilience, confidence and self-esteem.
- We want pupils to understand that failure is part of the road to success and help them build resilience.
- We encourage and support children to achieve to the best of their ability.
- We want pupils to acquire a wealth of knowledge and experience.
- Pupils should find a sense of belonging to the school and its community
- We encourage pupils to learn how to cooperate with their peers and respect one another inside and outside the classroom.
- We encourage our pupils to live and breathe our Hemlington Hall Academy virtues as they grow to become good people.
- Our curriculum incorporates the teaching of British Values: democracy; the rule of law; individual liberty; mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith. These values are woven into the ethos and practice of the school.
