Curriculum

Booklet

Primary

Phase

Overarching Statement:

The curriculum at Holy Trinity is currently evolving to reflect and respond to the needs of the school, the New National Curriculum, taking into account the joint faith dimension and making advantage of its unique 3-16 status. We have thus taken a Thematic Approach to the curriculum which is underpinned by levelled Learning Skills; Skills for Life; as well as the fundamental Christian teaching. We then use Bloom’s Taxonomy to underpin the build-up of a scheme of work, series of lessons or an individual lesson.

The Principles behind our curriculum

“Be the change that you want to see”

The Archbishop of York’s Youth Scheme although taught to Y 6 and y10 pupils really reflects the Christian emphasis of the school. We aim to encourage our pupils to develop a deeper awareness of their community both at local, national and international level and create opportunities for them to develop their Christian values, so that they grow up into a world with an adaptable range of learning skills, skills for life and Christian moral values which can be adapted to suit an ever-changing society. The skills that children today will need are more likely for jobs that have not yet been invented. Therefore we need to provide them with an adaptable set of life skills, as well as grounding in relevant knowledge and key facts, which is built upon over their school years. The curriculum will be unique and contextualised using meaningful hooks for learning from the locality,

children’s interests, topical issues, teacher passions and current events. Skills, both academic and personal, will

be at the heart of how and what we deliver. The curriculum will be designed to give purpose and the structure

to be cohesive in order for a child to further recognise the transfer of skills.

Broad and Relevant

The curriculum we offer children will ensure that we comply with the New National Curriculum

requirements in core knowledge, around which we offer exciting and stimulating lessons with a wide

range of learning opportunities with a due balance of provision.

At Key Stages 1 and 2 the core subjects of English, Maths, Science and as a Christian school, Religious

Education. The other statutory subjects that all pupils must study are: Art and Design, Citizenship,

Computing, Design and technology, Geography, History, Music, Physical Education. We also deliver,

Sex Education and Modern Foreign Languages

Unique and in Context

We will offer the children a joined up curriculum choosing to group learning under umbrella headings

(Topic headings) which can ensure there is coherence for the learners and ensuring the embedding of

literacy and numeracy skills.

The themes will be chosen to ensure the children are hooked and motivated in their learning. Topics

will be chosen by the teachers to reflect children’s interests, local links, topical subjects, teacher’s

passions or themes which have engaged learners in the past and it is felt will do so again. All themes

will be led by either a whole- class text or author, so that literacy drives the curriculum.

Subjects which do not fit under the umbrella of the topic will be taught in a standalone manner – i.e.

PE or MFL

Skills Based

Our school has devised a list of 11 skills we call – “Life Skills”. These are taken from the National

Curriculum key skills, the Enterprise Skills and a set of core Christian values we as a school feel need

to be encouraged. These will form the basis for self-development and be recognised in detail through

certain activities during a year, be referred to during other learning opportunities and be always

displayed around a planning wall in each classroom.

Life Skills

Core Learning Skills

Christian Values

Transfer of Skills

Our expectation for children is that the skills they learn will transfer into all aspects of their learning.

By embedding Literacy and Numeracy skills we will expect to see these consolidated throughout all

their learning. The focus on the ‘Life Skills’ will be again throughout their learning. We will endeavour

to broaden this to in school and out of school time by communicating the learning journey to children

and parents effectively.

Purposeful and Cohesive

As already stated learning will be joined up under an umbrella heading. Activities will then be

structured to ensure that children see the purpose of their learning. This will be delivered through

clear display and discussion about their learning goals. A focus and audience for their work and the

recognition of their success at the end of the process.

Quality First Teaching All children receive Quality First Teaching in Reading, Writing and Mathematics on a daily basis. Reading including phonics in EYFS and KS1 is taught on a daily basis. Nursery use SALLY to teach children early sounds. This then progresses into F2 where Jolly Phonics is taught alongside Read, Write Ink, which is the scheme that is taught throughout school. We believe that it is imperative that all children are taught to read individually and as a group. Therefore, all children are taught to read individually at least weekly; and as a guided group once a week. We constantly look for opportunities to provide children with experiences to read “widely and often” – both at home and in school e.g. through the use of online resources e.g. Bug Club. Reading is assessed in the following ways:

1. Ongoing formative assessments using APP grids when listening to children read individually and as a guided reading group.

2. Each half-term each year group has a reading comprehension – summative assessment. 3. Summative assessments in Years 2 and 6; and using the Optional SATs papers in Years 3,4 and 5. EYFS

and use the Development Matters curriculum, and Year 1 use teacher assessment as well as a simple comprehension.

Literacy drives the curriculum through a whole-class text which relates to the thematic topic; and a range of genres are taught in units through this text. Thus, children become immersed in text from an early age and are increasingly aware of a range of authors. Writing skills are taught daily, through Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar and using Ros Wilson’s VCOP. In addition, this is supplemented by Pie Corbett’s “Talk for Writing” which further engages pupils in the text. A Big Write is held once a week from Y2 – Y6; and in the second term for Year 1 pupils; where pupils are given the opportunity for extended writing linked to the text and genre that they are studying. This is assessed using the VCOP colours: Vocabulary – Yellow Connectives – Blue Openers – Green Punctuation – Pink Children are encouraged to self and peer assess; and targets are given for the following piece of work. Time is given in the following lesson to edit and redraft work and make children aware of their individual targets. Each classroom has a VCOP display using the same colours and is used as an aid for writing.

Handwriting – children are taught correct letter formation in EYFS and once they have mastered this, they then progress to cursive handwriting using Sheffield Structure. Once they have shown they have a neat, legible and cursive style, children are issued with a Pen License for future written work (not maths). Handwriting is taught regularly and reinforced during morning work. Spelling is taught and this is linked to the New National Curriculum. Each year group is given a list of phonemes or spelling patterns to learn as well as tricky words which do not fit any criteria. Spellings are differentiated for each child so that high attaining children are challenged, and low-attaining children receive the support they require to enable them to close the gap. Children’s Progress in literacy is assessed in the following ways:

1. Weekly Big Write sessions –this is a formative assessment so that children understand what they have done well and what they need to improve for the following week.

2. Half-termly assessments – a range of genres over the year are assessed through an unseen writing task. This is assessed using the APP grid.

3. Summative assessment – Writing tasks in the Summer Term form an overall assessment of the children’s writing ability, including the SPAG test in Year 6.

Maths This is taught on a daily basis in every class. In EYFS it is taught during whole-class carpet sessions and through continuous provision – both indoor and outdoor, including IT programs. In Key Stages 1 and 2 we are using the new Programmes of Study (except for Years 2 and 6 as these children will be tested on the old Programmes of Study) Each term there are teaching blocks which last between 1, 2 or 3 weeks. These cover Numbers and the Number System, Calculating, Shape and Space, Measures and Data Handling. It is expected that children at the end of Year 4 should know all their multiplication facts to 12 x 12; so that in Years 5 and 6 they have instant recall of these and use them to derive number facts. Daily multiplication table practice takes place either in or outside the main maths lesson. Mymaths is used throughout school as an IT-based tool for lessons or for homework. All children have their own log-in details and teachers are able to access how well their class have done and go over any common misconceptions. Children’s progress in Maths is assessed in the following ways: 1. Daily formative assessments to monitor pupil progress e.g. through marking and feedback. The APP (Assessing Pupil Progress sheet for each group / child is then updated accordingly) 2. Half-termly summative assessments (test conditions) linked to the units they have studied over the last half-term. This is then cross-referenced in the APP grids for each child/group of children. 3. Yearly summative assessments (using Key Stage 1 and 2 SATs tests and Optional SATs for Years 3,4 and 5) Foundation Stage are assessed from the Development Matters document; and Year 1 are assessed using a range of APP activities. RE – children receive up to 2.5 hours of Quality First RE teaching (2 hours in Key Stage 1) using the “Come and See” Programme. This is primarily a Catholic-based programme, but has been adapted to meet the needs of the Church of England ethos of our school. We therefore encourage children to gain a deeper aspect not only of Christianity, but also of other faiths and religious beliefs. We hold a multi-faith week in November as well as Christian Retreat Weeks through school. In addition to RE teaching, we hold daily acts of worship in school both for staff and pupils. PSHE – this is taught in all classes through a range of approaches, primarily using the Statements to Live By; but also supplementing it with other resources such as SEAL. Anti-Bullying, e-Safety, and Road Safety are all taught as part of the PSHE curriculum. The Year 6’s go to Crucial Crew to learn about Keeping Safe, including drugs and alcohol. SRE is taught from Years 4-6.

Modern Foreign Languages – This is taught from Reception to Year 6 using the specialist language teachers from the Secondary Phase during Primary Teacher’s PPA. Music – again this is taught by specialist Secondary teachers, and on occasion primary teachers when it links to the curriculum. PE- children receive at least 1 hour of quality PE from specialist teachers each week; and 1 hour every 2 weeks with their own class teachers (due to timetabling restrictions). We aim to encourage healthy life-styles through children participating in a range of sport, healthy tuck and packed lunches. Wave 2 and 3 Intervention For children who are not making expected progress, or have an IEP for SEN, they may receive wave 2 group intervention outside normal whole class teaching such as catch-up literacy or springboard mathematics. For some children, individual support may be required during parts of the school day (Wave 3 support) this could be written into their Individual Education Plan. “Hooks for learning” Children learn best from hands-on experiences. We therefore look to provide opportunities to take children to places on educational visits, or ask visitors to come into school to share their specialism. We try to use Local links wherever possible, and at least one further afield. Children in Upper Key Stage 2 have residential experiences. This gives learning a purpose and engages children in their own learning. We constantly look for links through thematic topics which give our pupils a sense of purpose and pride for their learning. This may be through an individual class / year group project or during one of our Primary Thematic weeks e.g. Multi-faith week, Sustainability Week, Anti-Bullying Week, Gypsy Roma Traveller Week, Science Week, Book Week. Enquiry- based learning - this forms part of our home/school links and encourages pupils to search for their own answers to questions and to form and enquiry. This could be as part of their project that they are learning about in class. Children are encouraged to take charge of their own learning through enquiry-based learning. Homework Daily homework is encouraged from all year groups, whether it is reading at home, practising spellings and multiplication tables or number bonds, or completing enquiry-based projects. We also provide “Jigsaw homework tasks” for children to choose which homework suits their own learning style best.

Foundation Stage Planning

Long Term Planning

The long term plans are set through the Development Matters Curriculum and show the continuous

provision and key learning opportunities.

Medium Term Plans

Medium Term plans are developed from the ‘Interest Sheets’, completed each half-term by the staff based

on their observations of the needs and interests of the children. We have overall key themes which relate

to the Seasons and Religious festivals.

Then 1 or 2 topics will be chosen initially and the others will be selected as the year progresses to either

refer to the interest sheets or to take into account new developments.

2 or 3 Learning objectives are chosen from each area of learning, to suit each topic, each Learning

Objective is visited at least once ensuring complete coverage over the year.

The F1 and F2 teachers will agree all Learning Objectives to be delivered before the term begins at a

planning meeting.

Short Term Planning

Short term planning, highlighting specific vehicles for learning, will be set in more detail, during PPA

sessions, however Foundation teachers will discuss learning objectives preceding these sessions to agree

joint objectives.

Team staffing meetings will be held to discuss plans and to enable all staff to feed into the planning

process. Following this meeting there will be a shared understanding of the upcoming focus.

Outdoor Provision short term plans:

Outdoor provision enhances the curriculum by providing opportunities that children cannot receive from the

indoor provision. Each activity relates to an Early Learning Goal, and adults interact with children through their

play to encourage speaking and listening, and to make observation of children’s learning.

Broad and Relevant + Unique and in Context

The curriculum is tailored to the children’s interests whilst covering all learning goals

Skills Based

The Foundation Stage Profile is broken down into small specific steps of achievement through a range of

skills.

Transfer of Skills + Purposeful and Cohesive - All activities set up in the Foundation

classroom will be targeted to deliver the weekly learning objective

Year 1 to Year 6 Planning

Long Term planning

Long term plans will be taken from the New National Curriculum for literacy and maths (except in Years 2

and 6) and from levelled Learning Skills for the Foundation Subjects. RE is taken from the Come and See

syllabus.

Medium Term planning.

Medium Term Plans

1) Topics will be chosen FIRSTLY deliver the necessary skills coverage and very importantly to hook the learners.

The topics may be a mixture of a terms theme, a half term theme or a short week or fortnight theme. A class

text will provide the hook for learning for each topic so that literacy skills permeate through the curriculum.

2) The topic will be broken down into short focussed activities, which will use the Literacy Programmes of Study

to ensure appropriate focus. These are then broken down into a Scheme of Work using the principles behind

Bloom’s Taxonomy to show a build-up of skills over the course of a unit, so that there is a clear purpose for

each piece of work, which is then evaluated. A scheme of work will therefore consist of the following 6

elements:

(i) Knowing / Tuning In

(ii) Understanding / finding out

(iii) Applying / sorting out and going further

(iv) Analysis / making conclusions

(v) Creating / Taking action

(vi) Evaluation / Reflecting

Opportunities for the explicit teaching of the 11 Life Skills are then mapped onto this Scheme of work.

3) Visits, visitors and other stimuli will be chosen to hook learners into the topic. A visit will be planned each

term, which will either be a local walk or a coach to a further afield location. A balance of subject specific

trips will be maintained through a year. Residentials in Y5 and Y6 will provide a great stimulus to teaching in

school as well as providing a valuable tool for ‘Outdoor Adventure’ activities.

4) A balance of subject weighted topics will be sought over the school year. The local area should be used,

however teachers should be mindful of engaging with other areas in the country and abroad to give children

a global dimension.

5) A learning wall will be created for each topic showing how the National Curriculum Key Skills will be delivered

and how the Life skills can be incorporated into each lesson.

A straight forward example would be a topic on ‘Toys and Games’ for a half term followed by a topic on Space for the

next. BUT it could be a half term focussed on Victorians, followed by a week’s topic on Science (Science Week), then a

three week topic on the local area, finishing with a two week Christmas topic

The topics should show a balance of subject focus throughout the year.

We will use the New National Curriculum programmes of study, together with the Learning Skills to teach each

lesson.

A topic journal will pass with each class to record the range of titles and areas covered as well as trips and visitors

experienced.

An Example of a topic wall.

An example of a Topic Wall follows.

It is surrounded by the ‘Key to success’. These can be found on the following page.
