Curriculum Intent

Through our school values, we acknowledge our responsibilities to enrich lives and promote children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. We believe in lifelong learning and aim to equip our children to live life today and be ready for tomorrow.

At Beacon Hill we have designed a broad and balanced curriculum, which celebrates diversity and develops the skills and knowledge of all children. Our curriculum provides opportunities for all children to develop as independent, confident and successful learners, who know how to make a positive contribution to their community and wider society.

RE

Religious Education:

• In our school, Religious Education is a part of a broad and balanced curriculum. All pupils receive RE in accordance with the Surrey Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education (2017-2022). This can be viewed here.
• Within our website, you will find details about the RE that is taught in each year group.
• We expect all pupils to experience the full breadth of our curriculum, but should parents or carers wish to exercise the right of withdrawal for all or part of RE, they should consult the headteacher.
   

Collective Worship:

• Collective worship (often known as an assembly) is part of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
• Assemblies are an important part of our school community life, so we hope that all pupils participate. Any parents or carers wishing to exercise their right to withdraw their child(ren) from all or part of collective worship should consult the headteacher.

PE - REAL PE

What is Real PE?

Real PE is a unique, child-centred approach. It transforms how we teach PE to engage and challenge every child in primary school.

It focuses on the fundamental movement skills of a child's physical development:

* Agility

* Balance

* Coordination

Real PE develops the whole child, each term there is a multi ability focus:

* Personal

* Social

* Cognitive

* Creative

* Physical

* Health and Fitness

Each week the class teacher is teaching the children from the Real PE curriculum. In addition to this every class has an hour PE lesson with a specialist sport coach where they are able to transfer the skills they are developing in Real PE into more competitive sports.
