Heene School

Heene First School teaches children aged 4 years to 8 years within four year groups. The core of the curriculum is centred upon English, Mathematics, Science, Information and Communication Technology and Religious Education. This is complemented by the foundation subjects of History, Design Technology, Drama, Geography, Art, Music and Physical Education. The objectives of the whole school curriculum - what is taught and the way it is taught – are that it be:

    * BROAD - so that it introduces each child to a wide range of concepts, experiences, knowledge and skills;
    * BALANCED - so that each area of the curriculum is allowed sufficient time for its contribution to be effective;
    * RELEVANT - so that all subjects contribute to a sound general education which prepares the children to meet the opportunities and responsibilities of adult life in a rapidly changing world;
    * DIFFERENTIATED - so that it is matched to individual children’s abilities and aptitudes.

Children will work as a whole class, within small groups, as part of a paired activity or on their own depending upon the aims of each activity.
