Higham St. John's Church Of England Primary School

Our Curriculum

At Higham St John's School, we believe passionately that all our children should receive a curriculum that is broad and balanced, enabling all children to succeed.  To achieve this, we provide a learning experience that is both challenging academically, yet enables all children to develop their personal talents to the maximum in a safe, nurturing Christian environment.
We have designed a curriculum that both challenges and excites children in their learning.  

Please refer to our 'Statement of Intent' Document below for more information.

The National Curriculum

We follow the National Curriculum, which is a statutory requirement for what needs to be covered within our school.   We have tailored this for our children including asking them at the beginning of the year to tell us what their 'Hopes and Dreams' are for the year ahead.  These experiences will be woven into the curriculum that we deliver.

Extra-Curricular Activities

We offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities over the course of the year, both during and after school.  We also regularly compete against other schools in a range of sports through the Sports Partnership.  Our clubs are delivered by qualified sports coaches, specialist music teachers and our committed teaching and learning staff team.

Examples of activities we have offered in the last two years include:-

Football, Cricket, Cookery, Gymnastics, Multiskills, Netball, Dance, Judo, Choir, Club Francais, Fitness, Arts & Craft Club, Dodgeball, Music Club and Coding.

Musical Tuition:- Guitar, Violin,  Woodwind, Recorders, Keyboard

Note: There is a small charge for activities.
