Curriculum

At Herne Bay Junior School, our curriculum is designed to equip children with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to navigate the next stage of their education and beyond. 

It is a knowledge-rich curriculum that develops our pupils’ understanding through delivering carefully sequenced small steps in learning that progressively build over time to ensure a robust understanding of essential knowledge, skills and concepts. 

The sequencing of learning and the opportunities to regularly review and revisit key understanding supports the long-term retention of knowledge required to build confident lifelong learners. 

We believe in the importance of a balanced curriculum that allows every child the opportunity to demonstrate their strengths and talents. Through providing the full range of Key Stage 2 subjects, we can nurture well-rounded, confident and resilient individuals. 

Our goal is to cultivate a love for learning, encourage curiosity, build aspiration, and promote a sense of belonging for every pupil within a safe and supportive learning environment. 

Our curriculum is inclusive and adaptable, catering to the diverse needs of all our pupils. Through the careful deployment of additional support and resources, we can ensure that every child can access the whole curriculum and achieve their full potential.  

In English and Maths, there is a strong focus on securing every pupil’s ability to read and recall key additive and multiplicative facts to automaticity. 

At Herne Bay Junior School, we are committed to providing a balanced curriculum that recognises and nurtures the strengths of every child. Through our inclusive approach, we aim to develop confident, secure learners ready for the next stage of their educational journey.
