HTPS Values Curriculum

We are passionate about the new curriculum for Wales and we truly believe that our approach to the curriculum will enable us to achieve our vision for our community.

The aim of for the new curriculum is to support our children to be:

• ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives

• enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work

• ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world

• healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society

The new Curriculum for Wales comprises of Six Areas of Learning and Experience (AoLEs): Expressive Arts; Health and Well-being; Humanities; Languages, Literacy and Communication; Mathematics and Numeracy; Science and Technology.

Our Values Based Curriculum has been built up over time and reflects the needs of our children in our school. Teachers plan a theme for each half term appropriate to the learning needs of our children. During each half term we focus on a school value across the school. The topics are inquiry based and we expose our children to high quality texts that are deep and meaningful in order to inspire them to lead their own learning. We strive to provide the most engaging and authentic opportunities for children to develop a love for learning as well as acquiring a range of knowledge, skills and experiences.

All the topics ensure that they focus on the skills of the LNF and focus on the Area of Learning Experiences in the New Curriculum for Wales. They focus on collaboration, sharing ideas and contributing to the learning of others. Visit our Twitter page to see this in action - @htpschool.
