Curriculum Information

At Hampstead Norreys and The Ilsleys Primary School, our aim is for all children to be able to develop a vision of their future and an awareness of the opportunities to help them realise this. We aim for every pupil to leave with a sense of pride that they have developed the confidence, skills and general knowledge needed to achieve success. Our curriculum provides opportunities for children to develop as independent, confident and successful learners, with high aspirations, who know how to make a positive contribution to their community and the wider society.

Our intention is that our curriculum opens children’s eyes to the world within and beyond their immediate environment and its possibilities and helps them to make connections with their own lives. Our themes connect learning across subjects throughout each year, helping children to make links to possible jobs, travel, hobbies and community work they may aspire to in the future. Enrichment activities, such as trips and visitors enhance and build on our pupils’ ‘cultural capital’, offering experiences that many of our pupils wouldn’t otherwise have access to. We aim to widen pupils’ opportunities and inspire all of our children to gain the knowledge and skills they will need to achieve the future they aspire to.
