Our Curriculum Aims
At Booker Hill, we are committed to providing our pupils with a rich, broad and balanced curriculum that covers all of the required NC objectives. Therefore, we have mapped subjects both within year groups and across individual subjects to ensure that all objectives are covered and that our curriculum remains fulfilling, enriching and meets statutory requirements.
We ensure that we purchase into high quality and progressive, knowledge rich Curriculum Providers so that content, knowledge and skills is taught and learned progressively. We are on a mission to ensure that we utilise what cognitive science tells us about how children learn more and remember more. Children are reminded of prior learning in lessons and new learning builds on previously taught knowledge and skills. Children are also given previews of learning that will follow later in their Booker Hill career that links to their current topics.
Principles of our Knowledge-Rich Curriculum
- Knowledge is valued, specified and has a purpose
- Knowledge is well sequenced
- Knowledge is taught to be remembered
The content in our curriculum has been carefully chosen by subject experts and has been sequenced in a meaningful way that enables all children to make connections and progress. We recognise and value each subject and teach them discretely, ensuring that our children develop a deep understanding and love of each distinct discipline. Where appropriate, links are made across disciplines to enable children to make meaningful connections. Our curriculum includes local history, geography, and other locally relevant subject content.
