We ensure that our curriculum is devised around learning new skills and acquiring knowledge based on unique needs. Our curriculum is devised using Development Matters, The Early Learning Goals and National Curriculum for Year 1.
It allows for clear progression, support, challenge and creative teaching, that meets the individual and unique needs of our cohorts. It ensures that teaching and learning is matched appropriately at each transition point and supports children at every stage of their learning journey including bridging the gap between Reception and Year 1.

Curriculum Information for Parents
At Hob Hill, we are unified in our belief that the Early Years Foundation Stage really is the foundation to a successful future. We believe that all children are entitled to high quality learning and teaching, which equips them with the skills, knowledge and understanding they need today and prepare them well for the next step in their educational journey at Hob Hill.
Our curriculum is designed to recognise children’s prior learning, both from previous settings and their experiences at home. We work in partnership with parents, carers and other settings to provide the best possible start at Hob Hill Primary School, ensuring each individual reaches their full potential from their various starting points.

As stated above our curriculum has been designed to acknowledge that all children learn at different rates and each child’s development is unique. Through regular monitoring and assessment any child whom requires additional support is identified quickly and provided with intervention and additional learning opportunities. Please see the SEND Policy for further guidance.
