Curriculum Statement / Intent:
At John Hunt Academy we are very clear that a great curriculum is one that motivates and inspires our children.
The Curriculum at John Hunt Academy aims to provide Beyond Expectation opportunities for children to develop as independent, confident, successful learners with high aspirations, who know how to make a positive contribution to their community and Take Care in the wider world.
John Hunt provides a highly inclusive environment where we want all learners to enjoy and achieve (in and out of school) in their education and to make progress in all areas of learning. Pupils at all levels are helped to achieve to their potential (we like to say, be the best you can be, not the best in the world but the best version of you).
Our focus on curriculum development is always evolving and being carefully designed to ensure coverage and progression. Our Curriculum intends to provide pupils with memorable experiences, in addition to diverse and rich opportunities from which children can learn and develop a range of transferable skills.
A primary focus of our curriculum is to raise aspirations through the message of Hard Work, by creating a sense of Integrity and by instilling Pride in achievement, thus providing a purpose and relevance for learning.
To promote physical health and well-being, a range of clubs gives learners an opportunity to access a wide variety of sports clubs after school hours and during lunch times.
If you require any further details on our Curriculum then please contact the school directly via email office@johnhunt.notts.sch.uk.
