Implementation:

We have developed a bespoke ‘Theme Map’ to deliver the key skills, knowledge and understanding of the National Curriculum while meeting the needs of the children in our school through a cross-curricular approach and emphasis on Key Drivers.

Themes link, building on prior learning as children progress through the school. Opportunities to develop Key Drivers of ‘PSE’, ‘Equalities’, ‘Celebrating London’ and ‘Eco-action’ are made explicit, and are visited regularly through a range of contexts as children move through the school

Skills Progressions for each subject are followed closely to ensure that key knowledge and skills are taught, ensuring progress across the curriculum.

We have developed a Hargrave Park ‘teaching toolkit’ to ensure maximum wellbeing, engagement and progress for all. This includes strategies for inclusive practice and engagement – for example picking lolly sticks rather than asking for hands up, displays to celebrate success, effective differentiation strategies to ensure support, challenge and progress for all and a range of practical activities and enrichment activities to ensure all children have opportunities for success. We place great importance on our high quality learning environment including high quality resources and dedicated learning spaces such as our Science Lab, Creative Arts Space and outdoor learning spaces. Learning is planned carefully to lead to high quality outcomes including displays and sharing events.
