Our Curriculum : Beyond the Curriculum
Educating the whole child
East Hunsbury Primary School (EHPS) is more than just a school. It is a school which develops the whole child right from the start of their educational journey. It is a school which ensures every child has access to the opportunities and experiences they deserve in order to flourish.
In 2022, Ofsted recognised that EHPS has a broad and ambitious curriculum, repeatedly singing its praises throughout the report. However, we are more than a curriculum. We are more than just good results and, whilst we have very high expectations for the standards and outcomes for our children, we know that school is much more than teaching them to read and write. We know that in our ever-changing world, life-skills such as resilience, empathy and critical thinking are essential in supporting children to successfully navigate their futures.
As Martin Luther King once said: ‘The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence, plus character – that is the goal of true education.’
So how does EHPS educate your child above and beyond their exceptional curriculum?
At the heart sit our school values which are to: work hard, be kind and believe. It is these values that provide the foundations and direction for learning and the personal development of our children within our care. All our staff and children are expected to uphold these values and it is within these values we explore some of those key life-skills.
