CURRICULUM INTENT

At Green Hammerton CofE Primary School we aim to provide a curriculum that embraces independence, enquiry, thinking and creativity. This is underpinned by a focus on essential skills for developing powerful, independent learners. When children leave Green Hammerton CofE Primary School at the end of Year 6, they should be equipped with the full range of skills that enables them to become lifelong learners. As a Church school our Christian ethos and values are at the heart of everything that we do. We have a commitment to teaching abut global citizenship and courageous advocacy, ensuring that children are empowered to treat all people with dignity and respect.

CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION 

At Green Hammerton CE Primary School we aim to provide the children with a curriculum which is broad, well balanced and above all stimulates the children to learn. Through a positive and caring environment, we provide the opportunity for every child to reach their full potential. We embrace our Christian values and ensure all children are ready for their next steps.

Our teaching of content and knowledge is based on the EYFS Curriculum and National Curriculum for KS1 (Years 1 and 2) and KS2 (Years 3 - 6) in the core curriculum subjects of English, Maths, Science, foundation subjects of History, Geography, Art, Design and Technology, Music, Physical Education, Computing, French and Religious Education.

Personal Social Health Education (PSHE) and Citizenship Education follows the NYCC Guidance for Schools. It focuses on Personal Effectiveness, Interpersonal and social effectiveness and Managing risk and decision making. We aim to equip pupils to live healthy, safe, productive, capable, responsible and balanced lives.

As a Church of England School our curriculum is distinctive in promoting Christian values and the teachings of the Anglican Church. Studies are supported by first hand experiences such as visiting our village Church and visits to other places of worship to widen pupils’ knowledge and understanding of the wider world. The teaching of Religious Education is statutory in all schools. It is taught following the North Yorkshire Agreed Syllabus of Religious Education.
