Learning at Holbeton

At Holbeton Primary School, we aim to provide a broad and well-balanced curriculum that will inspire our pupils and motivate them to learn. Our curriculum follows the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum supplemented by opportunities to provide enrichment, inspire curiosity, and support the development of every child’s academic, social, communication and wellbeing needs. Careful planning ensures progression of both skills and knowledge as the children journey through each subject’s curriculum. Teachers plan specific activities to elicit prior knowledge so that the learning builds sequentially. The use of schemas enables our children to know and remember more, and learning is reviewed lesson to lesson, week to week and over a longer period of time to ensure that identified key knowledge is retained. As a school community we believe we have a responsibility to educate for the whole child. We recognise that all children are unique and bring their own special talents and gifts to our school.
