Curriculum

 

Our Hudson Road curriculum approach reflects our belief that children need to develop self-responsibility and independence alongside essential knowledge and key basic skills in order to become successful life-long learners.

 

Alongside carefully planned literacy and mathematics lessons, we plan a themed approach to learning using children's own inquiry skills as a starting point. Each class takes our whole school topic and makes it their own with teachers incorporating the necessary age appropriate knowledge and skills from across as many subject areas as appropriate.
