Holywell Green Primary & Nursery School
Curriculum
At Holywell Green Primary School we follow the National Curriculum. There is a programme of study for each year group, with associated content.
Each year group has an outline, long term plan for the year, and medium term plans for each term. Each half term, the class newsletters provide information for parents as to what will be taught in each year group for that period of time. These are available on the Classes tab.

Teaching Schemes
We aim to provide an education, so that the vast majority of children will have achieved age related expectations, as outlined in the National Curriculum programmes of study, by the end of each age related stage.
Schemes of work in use within the school for the National Curriculum core subjects are:
Maths
Big Maths
Individual Teacher enrichment materials
White Rose Maths Hub materials
Appropriate computer programs
Science
Individual Teacher enrichment materials
Appropriate computing programs
Computing
Purple Mash
Staff continually evaluate other published materials and are committed to a policy of frequent review of their teaching resources.
Details of the programmes of study required are available in the National Curriculum.
Parents
As a school, we feel that it is essential that parents play an active role in educating their children. With this in mind, we endeavour to keep parents informed of the taught curriculum through termly parents’ evenings and half termly class newsletters which provide information on the curriculum to be covered each half term.
The core Curriculum subjects are Mathematics, English and Science. Other subjects studied are Modern Foreign Languages (Spanish), Design and Technology, History, Geography, Art, PE, Computing, Music, Drama. In addition schools must make provision for RE and Personal and Social Education.
We hope that parents will take every opportunity to play a part in their child’s learning and development.
All parents are provided with a Home School agreement when their child starts school and at the beginning of each academic year.
