Curriculum

Curriculum Intent:

At Rose Hill Primary School we are incredibly proud of our broad, enriching curriculum which allows all learners to reach their full potential. We built our curriculum on these principles:

• Our curriculum is unique to us. It contains opportunities that are only possible at Rose Hill. 
• There are opportunities for pupils to learn from a range of cultures, races, religions and genders. 
• Knowledge and skills are built on and progress throughout the year, and from EYFS to KS1 to KS2. 
• There are opportunities for all pupils to significantly develop their cultural capital. 
• Our most vulnerable learners are given all the tools they need to access our curriculum in full. 
• Fundamental British Values of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs are taught throughout the curriculum and discretely. 
• The National Curriculum for KS1 and 2 and Development Matters for EYFS are covered in their entirety. 

Through this we aim to...

• Develop foundations and individual enthusiasm for life-long learning.
• Inspire curiosity, confidence and creativity in all pupils.
• Teach pupils with their strengths and interests in mind.
• Create many opportunities to spark interest for all pupils.
• Encourage a secure and positive attitude towards others and the environment.
• Be ambitious for every pupil, whatever their prior attainment or need.
• Encourage resilience through understanding the importance of making mistakes, listening and responding to feedback and being open-minded.

Curriculum Implementation:

Our Curriculum is delivered in a two-year cycle, which we call our Long-Term Plan:

Rose Hill Primary School's Long-Term Plan

Our Long-Term Overview gives the 'headlines' of what pupils will learn, and when. We also ensure that knowledge for retention, skills, vocabulary and the National Curriculum for KS1 and 2, and Development Matters for EYFS, are built on over time and progress through year groups. Each subject has a 'Progression Grid' to show the speicifc knowledge, skills, vocabulary and National Curriculum objectives that will be covered during each term and topic.

Geography - History - Computing - Design Technology - English - Modern Foreign Languages - Maths - Music - Physical Education - Religious Education - Science - Art and Design

Curriculum Impact:

At Rose Hill School, we strive to ensure that our pupils' attainment in core and foundation subjects is in line with or exceeding age-related expectations. We intend that our pupils will be fully prepared for their next stage of education and ready to contribute positively to society as a whole.

Our work on promoting social skills, fundamental British values, resilience and well-being enables the pupils to become the very best version of themselves.

We use a range of procedures to assess impact including feedback as part of the Marking and Feedback policy, formal and informal assessments. In writing, for example, we use ‘No More Marking’, an online platform that facilitates comparative judgement of children’s writing against 500+ schools nationally. We rigorously analyse the data provided by any assessment to inform teaching and learning as we move forwards.
