Hawksworth Church Of England Primary School

Introduction to the  Hawksworth Curriculum 

Hawksworth CE Primary's curriculum is bespoke, unique to our school and meets the needs of our children to prepare them for an ever-changing world. 

At Hawksworth CE Primary School, we believe in the concept of lifelong learning. We maintain that learning should be a rewarding, relevant and enjoyable experience that is rooted in our Christian faith. Through our teaching and curriculum, we equip all our children with knowledge, skills and a positive attitude necessary to be confident learners now and for life.

Our creative curriculum is coherent, planned, sequenced, progressive, challenging and aims to meet all the requirements of the National Curriculum from EYFS to Year 6. It provides opportunities for mastery in all subjects, helping all children to aspire to achieve the best they can in all the learing they explore.

Our inclusive curriculum promotes equality and celebrates diversity, respecting the rights and dignity of every child enabling all children to reach their potential.

Below is an excerpt from our Ofsted report, praising our bespoke curriculum: 

'The school has designed a curriculum that has been personalised to its context and pupils. Leaders have identified precisely what they want pupils to learn across mixed-aged classes. As a result, pupils get off to a strong start in the early years and then their learning builds and grows as they move through the school. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who are supported by staff who know them well.'  Ofsted Report
