Our Curriculum

At the heart of our curriculum is a commitment to our school values and a firm belief that every child can learn, achieve and thrive.  We take an inclusive approach, ensuring that all children are supported and challenged to reach their full potential.

Our broad and balanced curriculum is designed to ignite curiosity and nurture creativity.  We hope to inspire a lifelong love of learning, empowering children to become confident, articulate individuals who are well prepared for the world around them. Our curriculum is carefully sequenced, building on prior knowledge to ensure that knowledge is deepened and retained.

We place a strong emphasis on reading, promoting it as a gateway to the wider curriculum.  Our goal is for children to become confident, fluent readers, who are excited about books and reading.

Learning at Hilperton goes beyond the classroom.  We offer a wide range of enrichment opportunities, including regular use of our beautiful and extensive outdoor spaces, such as our large field, artificial sports pitch and Forest School areas.  These experiences deepen learning, promote wellbeing and build essential life skills. 

We regularly provide children with opportunities to shine through music and sport, where they can perform and represent the school.  We aim to build children’s memories of expressing creatively and working with others to showcase and display their achievements. These experiences help build courage, confidence, resilience and teamwork.   

Our vision is for every child to leave our school with wings of kindness, as curious, confident lifelong learners.
