Hinton St George Long Term Programme of Work

The following document outlines how our school will be covering the National Curriculum over a 4 year period (effectively 2 years in Key Stage 1 and 2 years in lower Key Stage 2). This will ensure all the children will receive the full National Curriculum coverage in the time they spend in Key stage 1 and then in Key stage 2 from a different perspective.

Due to our mixed age classes, both classes across will cover the same topic titles taking the learning off at a different level and point of interest that is suitable for the children at each stage (Foundation Stage /Year 1 and Year2/3/4). Foundation Stage will cover the Foundation Stage Curriculum using the topic title as their starting point and using the same topic outcome as the whole school where appropriate. Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 will cover the designated objectives from the National Curriculum outlined below in each topic. Titles for each topic below are at a consultation stage with staff at the moment but will continue to develop over the cycle of the Programme of Work taking into account the pupils’ interest and needs.

We will continue to teach our R.E. lessons discretely and follow the AMV units of work from Baths and Wells.

Science, English, Maths, P.E., Languages and Citizenship will also continue to be taught discretely and planned using the National Curriculum 2014 and Chris Quigley ‘The Essentials Curriculum’. These subjects will be linked in to the topic theme where appropriate but only where tangible links are made. We also continue to use the SEAL units to teach elements of Citizenship programme.Even though the children are currently taught in two classes(Foundation Stage /Year 1 and Year2/3/4), the staff will arrange children in different arrangements to meet the needs of the pupils. An example of this is Science teaching which will be arranged Foundation Stage/Year 1 and Year2 together and then Year 3 and Year 4 together.
