Curriculum Implementation
At WHFCS our curriculum is taught through a flexible themed approach with many enrichment activities and thoughtful experiences included in order to support all pupils gaining the knowledge and skills outlined in the national curriculum. All subjects have been carefully reviewed and while some subjects are taught discretely or as a ‘block’ unit others have been woven together to support our aim to provide the enriched, broad and balance curriculum our pupils deserve. Our curriculum allows pupils to showcase their knowledge and skills in a range of ways. It also ensures that the physical health, mental health and well-being of our pupils are met. Our curriculum is implemented through careful planning, teaching, assessment and feedback. We structure our curriculum to meet its intent in ways which will encourage children to meet our vision statement and values.
