Curriculum

Heritage House School aims to be a high performing school where we learn, work and enjoy so that we make progress and achieve our targets.

We are a school where we are all:  

learning together and achieving together.

The School delivers a 'Skills for Life Curriculum' which equips our pupils with the skills, knowledge and understanding that they need for their adult lives. The curriculum was developed with parents, staff, Governors and the pupils themselves and consists of six areas. These are:  

                      Effective Communication

                      Personal and Social Development

                      Practical Skills of Independence

                      Physical Fitness

                      Leisure, Sports and Creative Arts

                      Problem Solving

 The Curriculum is delivered via whole school topics on a three year rolling program. Schemes of work for all the National Curriculum subjects and RE within the Skills for Life areas identify the teaching and learning accross the whole school in each Topic. The Topics are:

                     This is Your Life                

                     Let's Get Creative                  

                     Sea, Land and Space                    

                     That's Entertainment            

                     All Around the World                

                     Out and About 

                     Light Fantastic

                     Food, Glorious Food

                     Back to the Future

 Each Topic commences with a Launch Day when the whole school comes together for a day of special activities. Throughout the Topic there are 'Theme Days' during which pupils have a range of new and exciting opportunities for learning. At the end of each topic all pupils are involved in a 'Celebration Week' during which the learning of the pupils is acknowledged and celebrated. These Topics ensure that the Skills for Life Curriculum at Heritage House School provides the breadth and balance that features in the National Curriculum delivered in mainstream schools.
