Higher Bebington Junior School
Curriculum

At Higher Bebington Junior School we have designed a broad and bespoke curriculum which aims to develop curious and creative learners who are motivated and challenged. Our curriculum reflects the National Curriculum for core and foundation subjects with opportunities from visiting artists, historians and actors embedded within it.

We ensure our curriculum is enriched with visits and extracurricular activities to enhance learning at every opportunity. We teach children to ask questions, challenge ideas, and build on both their individual and combined strengths to solve problems and respond to the world around them. We hope to ensure each child practises taking risks, learning from mistakes, and persevering towards their goals. Throughout our school, we are proud to show off the exciting work we have been doing for our curriculum through working walls, writing, reading, and art work.

Our curriculum has been designed to reflect our school vision ‘Together We Achieve’ by actively seeking opportunities for children to work collaboratively across classes, year groups, and within the wider community. This includes working together on year group assemblies and performances, performing for the local community, collecting for local food banks, and organising events to raise money for local and national charities.

Each term we provide an outline of the curriculum to be covered in each subject by each year group. These are sent home via Parent Mail each term but are also available online and displayed in our school. Further information and paper copies of our curriculum maps can be requested via the School Office.

The Global Goals

At Higher Bebington Junior School we share the view that the fundamental goal of a world class education is to ensure pupils make a meaningful contribution within their community and beyond. Our curriculum is centered the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals - ‘17 Goals to Transform Our World’. In 2015, countries adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

We believe that global learning helps pupils make sense of the increasingly complex and rapidly changing world in which they live. Our curriculum enables pupils to think critically about world issues and to develop an awareness of the impact our own actions can have on others. Each year group has selected specific goals that link their learning for that term. In addition, we have chosen specific goals to underpin our curriculum and goals that we will work on together as a school and with our wider school community.
