Our Curriculum
Howden Junior School aims to provide a curriculum that is engaging, balanced and relevant. While emphasis is placed on children learning core skills of English and Maths, we place great value on developing the ‘whole child’ and provide an engaging programme of study in all curriculum areas. Our provision is founded on our school values of ‘Community, Curiosity, Care and Courage’.
We intend that all pupils will secure firm foundations in English and Mathematics which underpin the growing excellence in other subjects. Our knowledge-based curriculum offers a broad range of subjects throughout Key Stage 2 (KS2). We believe in bringing learning to life, both indoors and outdoors, with an emphasis on engaging and purposeful learning.
