Hazel
Our Curriculum
At Elmley Dray School we aim to provide an engaging and exciting curriculum which is built on the foundations of promoting good levels of attendance and engagement and the holistic delivery of therapies and emotional intelligence. The curriculum has a clear approach to the development of both spoken and written language for children who are identified with speech, language and communication difficulties.
We aim to engage our students in deep learning experiences across the curriculum through a clear progression of skills and knowledge coupled with strong links across curriculum subjects and varied learning experiences through enrichment opportunities.
We have a clear approach to the teaching and learning of core subjects which differ per teaching group, with the intent to support student well-being and provide children with life skills that will help them when they move onto their next stage of learning. We are very lucky to have an on site developing learning outside the classroom area and access to a modern kitchen for teaching cookery for health and wellbeing.
Implementation of the curriculum in Rowan is driven through Schemes of work at upper KS1 and lower KS2 levels, which are designed to motivate, engage and challenge students to achieve. Clear feedback will show learners what they have done well and indeed what could be better.
The key subject areas covered in the Hazel class are:
Phonics, Literacy, Numeracy, Art, SPHERE, History, Geography, Community projects, ICT, Outdoor learning/Natural world, Diary of discoveries, Science SULP & Communication sessions, P.E, as well as Reading & Spelling.
