Short profile:
The Aims of Henry Moore Primary School:
To provide a secure and caring environment in which the emotional, cultural, educational, physical, spiritual and social needs of each child can be met.
To promote a happy atmosphere in which children can develop to their fullest potential and in which their natural talents and gifts are recognised and nurtured.
To help children develop self confidence and self discipline and to have respect for themselves, their peers, their teachers and the wider community beyond the school.
Detailed description:
We aim to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum to every child in the school, which is rich, challenging and inspiring. We aim to enable each child to fulfil his or her potential to the highest possible standard.
Our principles and policies are in line with the LEA Policy 'Every Learner', which is available for inspection in school. The National Curriculum and the Agreed Syllabus for RE are taught in a very structured way.
We have schemes of work for each of the National Curriculum subjects, which clearly lay out the areas of study for each year group.
In addition we must teach the Locally Agreed Syllabus for RE. Parents have the right to withdraw their child from RE lessons and Acts of Collective Worship.
The school has Schemes of Work for each area of the National Curriculum and the RE Syllabus, which covers the seven years that the child is in the school, ensuring a balance of curriculum and curriculum coverage. The teachers plan to cover for curriculum coverage at the beginning of each year so that the year plan also shows the balance of the curriculum.
Half term plans are sent home to parents for their information and in order that they can support the work in school.
The curriculum is covered through the medium of topics chosen by the class teacher. Some subjects are on going, e.g. aspects of Number and English, others are taught in blocks throughout the year. The wider curriculum for the school, which may or may not be planned for, is that developing the cultural, spiritual, moral and social development of the child. This may happen as situations arise or be part of a planned scheme of work.
We lead by example and encourage an ethos of caring and social and spiritual awareness throughout the school.
