Hetton Lyons Nursery School

The need to equip our kids for lifelong learning informs our curriculum.
At Hetton Lyons, we provide a challenging curriculum that is filled with knowledge and life.
We create the fundamental information, skills, and understanding that serve as the foundation for later life through our curriculum.
In addition to covering the National Curriculum's requirements, our curriculum goes beyond what is taught in the classroom to give our students access to the widest range of options possible.
The curriculum is strengthened by our dedication to valuing our neighbourhood and community, and as a result, we offer educational opportunities that foster resilient, confident, and self-driven children who are ready to learn new things throughout their lives.
Through the use of the surrounding environment, virtual guests, and the effective pedagogies that support how we learn at Hetton Lyons—collaborative learning, metacognition techniques, whole-class books, and interactive White Rose Maths—we continue to plan first-hand experiences.
Intent All students at Hetton Lyons Primary School will get an education that is comprehensive and balanced, fulfils their needs, and equips them with the knowledge, abilities, and skills necessary to apply what they have learned in the real world.
The curriculum makes sure that resilience, physical development, well-being, and mental health, as well as academic success, creativity and problem-solving, critical thinking, collaborative learning, and resilience, are important components that support the development of the whole child and encourage a positive attitude toward learning.
The curriculum embraces variety and makes use of the community's talents, knowledge, and cultural resources while fostering children's spiritual, moral, social, and cultural growth to ensure that kids are ready for life in contemporary Britain.
All students at Hetton Lyons will be encouraged through the school's curriculum to investigate various professions and learn the fundamentals of the labour market in order to increase their understanding of potential career paths.
All of our students have the opportunity to reach the greatest levels of math and English proficiency thanks to the curriculum, which is interwoven into all subject areas.
We provide engaging learning environments where our children are encouraged to learn collaboratively through, if feasible, first-hand experiences and apply their knowledge autonomously in order to support their social, moral, physical, emotional, and spiritual development.
Our planning and progression documents make sure that, within this framework of both a comprehensive and balanced curriculum, our curriculum meets the needs of all students enrolled in the school and inspires them to learn and be inspired by the world around them.
To make sure that children's learning progresses successfully over time and prepares them to meet the demands of secondary school, the progression of information, skills, and understanding is carefully planned, reviewed, and adjusted yearly through pupil voice.
