Learning The Horbury Way
We firmly believe that the delivery of a broad and balanced curriculum is key to developing the child as a whole. We want our children to leave Horbury Primary Academy as confident individuals who are capable of achieving great things and have a lifelong love of learning. We have a diverse curriculum, which is interwoven with the key learning attributes embodied within our PRIDE words; perseverance, risk-taking, independence, determination and enthusiasm.
To achieve this, we have created a curriculum which engages and motivates children to want to learn, to solve problems, and to think critically and creatively. We endeavour to provide themed approaches to learning and arrange frequent educational visits and visitors into school in order to bring subjects and learning to life.
The primary purpose of our curriculum is to guarantee a successful learning experience for every child and as such is designed to:
- Develop strong characters in order to be resilient and to cope with adversity
- Develop creative individuals who collaborate and cooperate in order to solve problems and who see failure as an opportunity to learn
- Develop pupils who think critically and care about their learning so that they always do their best
- Develop pupils who care about their school, their community and the wider world, encouraging them to feel part of and contribute positively to fundamental British values
- Ensure all pupils have high aspirations
- Develop a thirst for learning for all pupils
- Enable pupils to communicate, read, write and apply mathematics sufficiently well in order to prepare them to be successful in the next phase of their education.
