However, detailed curriculum information can be found on this section of the website. ### **Objectives** The **objectives of our curriculum** are to **engage, develop** and **motivate** our pupils to become **successful contributors to society**. We want our pupils to **develop their knowledge, skills and interests** in a variety of subjects that have **depth, imagination and breadth** to support them to **achieve their future aspirations**, in all areas of their lives. ### **Context** **Our school is set in the context** of a **tight-knit community** with **little movement** in and out of the estate. We have a **high percentage of pupil premium** children and a history of pupils **entering Reception year with low oral starting points**. Our **vision** is to provide the **best all-round education** for our pupils. The pupils in our cohort require **overlearning of fundamental skills**, in Maths and English with a **key focus** on **fluency for Reading and Maths**. ### **Our Curriculum Design** **Our curriculum is comprehensibly planned and clearly sequenced** with subjects following a **consistent design**. These are **effectively adapted** and developed to meet the **needs of ALL pupils**, including those with Special Educational Needs and/ or Disabilities. We know, through research, that in order for our pupils to **“know more” and “remember more”,** and ultimately achieve their best, that **our pupils need to experience learning more than once, in different contexts,** to become experts and develop a deep understanding, which will be embedded in their long-term memory. Our curriculum is designed to **regularly return to previous learning**, in order for pupils to **retrieve knowledge from their long-term memory** and build on this, with the introduction of new learning. ### **Our values** At Harefield Primary School we are a **Rights Respecting School** where we value every child as an individual and agree with the United Nations that **“Every child has the right to an education”** (Article 28). **The values** that have guided our decisions about our curriculum are our **ASK values:** - **Aspirational, safe and kind.** Pupil **engagement and enjoyment** in learning is at the core of everything we do. We are determined to ensure that all children achieve the best possible progress across all areas of the curriculum. We promote **British Values** through our PSHE curriculum, assemblies and pupil voice. ### **The Harefield Community** **Community involvement** is an essential part of our curriculum as geographically, the estate is very close-knit and we like to provide the pupils with as many **opportunities** as possible to know **where they fit into the world** and the **community within and outside of Harefield.** We want our pupils to leave Harefield Primary School knowing they will always be **part of the Harefield family** and will have the **confidence, knowledge** and **skills** to **make decisions, self-evaluate, make connections** within their learning journey and the wider world and become **lifelong ambitious learners.** ### Curriculum - [Curriculum](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/curriculum) - [Curriculum Statements](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/curriculum/curriculum-statements) - Curriculum Overviews - Autumn Term - Curriculum Overviews - Spring Term - Curriculum Overviews Summer Term - [Curriculum Leaders](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/curriculum/curriculum-leaders) - [EYFS](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/curriculum/eyfs) - [How We Teach Mathematics](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/curriculum/how-we-teach-mathematics) - [How We Teach Phonics and Early Reading](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/curriculum/how-we-teach-phonics-and-early-reading) - [British Values](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/curriculum/british-values) - [How we teach English](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/curriculum/how-we-teach-english) - [Reading](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/curriculum/curriculum-statements/reading) ![Harefield Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/harefield-primary-school-2/images/logo/logo-white.png) ### Harefield Primary School Yeovil Chase Bitterne Southampton SO18 5NZ 023 8046 3240 ### Quick Links - [Hamwic Education Trust](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/our-school/hamwic-education-trust) - [Ivy School Dog](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/our-school/ivy-our-school-dog) - [Admissions](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/key-information/admissions) - [Ofsted Report](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/key-information/ofsted) - [School Policies](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/key-information/policies) ### Useful Links - [Term Dates](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/parents/term-dates) - [Online Payments](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/parents/online-payments) - [Pupil Voice](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/children/pupil-voice) - [Online Safety](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/children/online-safety) - [Wellbeing](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/children/wellbeing) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/) - [X](https://x.com/) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/) © Copyright 2026 Harefield Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
