Hurdsfield Primary School Where 'Only Our Best Will Do'!

Our school aims to ensure that each and every child receives nothing short of the BEST: 

We aim to provide the BEST Learning Environment which promotes aspiration

Each child has access to the best learning environment; one which is underpinned by high expectations and challenge for all and one where failure is seen as essential for learning. Children understand that intelligence can grow and with practice, patience, praise and effort anyone can achieve within the happiest of school environments.

We aim to deliver the BEST Engaging and Challenging Curriculum

Every member of our school community has the very highest academic and social expectations for every child.  Our curriculum: Fosters ambition and an intrinsic desire to achieve by ensuring every child has the skills and knowledge they need to succeed across a range of subjects; Embeds core moral values which leads to a strong social conscience; Creates a positive ‘can do’ attitude towards learning so that every child believes that they can learn.

We deliver our curriculum through an enquiry-based curriculum model.  Each enquiry question is bespoke to the school's own curriculum.  Within each enquiry, children experience a learning journey across a range of subjects in which skills and knowledge are taught progressively both within and across year groups; building on prior knowledge to ensure that our children know and remember more and become true masters of the skills and knowledge they have been taught.

Our Curriculum uses memorable learning experiences to develop cultural capital as part of a rich, relevant and child-centred curriculum which has the principles of high-quality reading, writing, and maths which are embedded throughout. 

We aim to guarantee the BEST Quality Teaching and Learning underpinned by accurate assessment

Every child receives the highest quality teaching which ensures maximum progress and deep learning.  Our teaching will embody the highest expectations for every child and provide challenging teaching in order to ensure outstanding outcomes for all.

We expect the BEST and most Outstanding Outcomes for all

Every child will leave Hurdsfield with the highest possible social and academic outcomes and be ready to face life within the 21st century.
