At Hadrian Primary school we believe that the acquisition of basic skills is the foundation of all learning. We aim to provide a curriculum which is broad and balanced with an emphasis on the basic skills which is intrinsic to every aspect of the curriculum and everyday life.
We have achieved the Quality Mark in Basic Skills which supports us in:
All staff share this responsibility and plan their lessons to ensure that support staff, governors and parents also work towards this aim. We are committed to ensuring that every child who attends Hadrian Primary School, no matter what their academic ability, has high expectations set for them.
Using the basic skills Road Maps, all pupils have 6 key progression points they aim to meet throughout the year for Writing, Reading and Maths. These points are set for each pupil with the expectation that all children should progress along the Road Map. Children are able to see the progression towards these points within their feedback across the curriculum using stamps - ensuring their targets are at the forefront of their learning and embedded in everything they do.
Children from Year 1 to Year 6 are given the opportunity on a daily basis during 'Reflection Time' to build upon the basic skills for their age range, using these discrete daily sessions for English and Maths, and applying them into every aspect of their education.
'The Quality Mark aims to focus leaders to undertake effective self-evaluation and continuous improvement for English and mathematics, which drives better outcomes for pupils, their families and society.'
