Curriculum

At Hartford Junior School (HJS) we have a bold and engaging curriculum that develops the following core skills:

  • Curiosity (question, observe, enquire, understand)
  • Confidence (resilient, independent, reflective, self-motivated, problem solver, resourceful, self-regulate)
  • Communication (read, write, represent, reason, speak, listen, present, collaborate)

Lower Key Stage 2 (LKS2)

We teach English, maths, reading and phonics/spelling skills as discrete, individual subjects, in addition to RE, PE, PSHE and French. Our lower Key Stage 2 curriculum encompasses Science and the following foundation subjects: art and design, design technology (DT), geography, history, computing, music.

We have a two-year cycle of whole school themes outlined in our Curriculum Long-Term Plan (see side of page).

Upper Key Stage 2 (UKS2)

We teach all subjects (English, maths, reading and phonics/spelling, science, PE, PSHE, French, art and design, design technology (DT), geography, history, computing, music) as discreet individual subjects. We teach RE in line with LKS2 each half term over a period of 2 days.

We are developing our curriculum to be in line with the enquiry approach in the neighbouring Hartford Infant and Preschool, to ensure a seamless approach to the children’s learning.
