Catch-up Plan 2020-2021

Catch Up Plan FINAL.pdf

At Harrowgate Hill we embrace a thematic curriculum to enable children to enhance cross-curricular learning opportunities. We provide a curriculum that is not just broad and balanced but one which is also deep with enrichment and enterprise opportunities. We offer our children a range of exciting and purposeful experiences which provide rich opportunities for applying the key skills of reading, writing and maths.

At Harrowgate Hill, we use a Topic based approach to teach the majority of our curriculum subjects. Each year group works on a different Topic each term and the Foundation subjects are taught through this Topic. This work links directly to the statutory National Curriculum Objectives which schools are required to study (and as laid out in our Progress Documents).

At the beginning of each term, every class spends time completing work based around their class - for example, the pupils of Wild West class do work around the Frontiersman of North America. This work links directly to the statutory National Curriculum Objectives which schools are required to study (and as laid out in our Progress Documents).

Our Curriculum Progression Documents set out every objective as required by the National Curriculum. They have been coded to link to our Planning Overviews, to ensure complete coverage across the whole school.

We believe that the children's time in school shouldn't just be about the academic aspects of life and, as part of our every day curriculum, we like to offer the children opportunities to develop skills which will help them become even more well rounded individuals. Below is a list (not an exhaustive one) of many of the skills that we share with the children on a daily basis. These skills are built upon from year to year and not ignored just because some or most of the children have begun to master them - we believe that it is worth practising all of these skills throughout the children's time with us.
