Hazelwood’s Curriculum

Our curriculum meets the statutory requirements and encompasses unique Hazelwood Learning Journeys underpinned by the following:

• RRIP which means ‘Real, Relevant, Immersive and Purposeful‘ opportunities to offer context and applicability to learning,
• Hazelwood Drivers which help to create a curriculum that meets the needs of our school community; a unique fingerprint for our school curriculum that helps to shape our learning journeys.

Our Drivers are:

• Inspiring awe and wonder (hooks for learning and sparkle; big bangs, celebrations, trips and visitors, artefacts, motivation and inspiration for learning)
• Problem solving and thinking skills (creative thinkers; real life challenges, risk taking in learning; resourcefulness; enterprise, working collaboratively; fostering and applying thinking skills, independent learners)
• Creative arts (developing creative brain, broad and expressive curriculum of dance, drama, music and art, inspiration, enjoyment and fulfilment)
• Nurturing responsible citizens (training lifelong skills and values, PSHE, British values; emotional Intelligence, collaboration; care for the environment and helping others; sharing talents in community; links with community and local environment)

Some of the Learning Journeys below are from last year because we add the current half term’s Learning Journey once we start that half term, e.g. Spring 1 2020 won’t be added until the end of the 1st week back in January.

The Learning Journey Curriculum Webs can also be found on your child’s year group page.
