Each subject at Hampsthwaite C E Primary School has equal importance. To ensure that every subject is delivered to the highest standard, we have appointed each curriculum area a subject  leader.  They are a member of staff with responsibility for:

• Developing the subject's Intent, Implementation and Impact Report (3i) which can be found within the curriculum subject sections 

• Producing and monitoring an annual action plan to ensure continuous improvement

• Planning for Progression - producing a progression document that outlines how the knowledge and skills they intend to be covered are structured over the different year groups, starting in our school Nursery

• Planning for Progression - producing a progression document that outlines how the vocabulary they intend to be covered is structured over the different year groups, starting in our school Nursery

• Producing a budget bid and spending these funds with maximum impact 

• Supporting other members of staff with their subject knowledge and their subject specific vocabulary 

• Sourcing and providing subject specific training

• Maintaining the subject's high profile across the school

• Reporting back to the Governing Body each term on the the monitoring that has taken place and any findings recorded as a result of that monitoring 

Impact

Hampsthwaite uses rigorous triangulated monitoring throughout the year to gauge the impact of the curriculum design. Subject Leaders monitor individual subjects termly: reviewing learning, evaluating pupil voice, providing individual feedback to move practice forward, celebrating positives and highlighting areas of development. Our whole school team strengthen our vision and values as we work together to reflect upon our curriculum and share outcomes, driving forward next steps. Learning is measured through careful analysis of application of skills across the curriculum; showing how acquisition of knowledge is enhanced dramatically by expectations to evidence quality thinking and demonstrate individual understanding. In pupil discussions, children are clearly able to articulate what they have learnt previously, what they would like to find out and the new learning that has taken place..

Below is a visual representation of the Leadership Structure for the current academic year. This clearly highlights which members of staff have responsibility for the different areas within school. If you have any questions about a specific subject area, then please contact the subject leader via the school office. 

Also, if you have any skills or subject knowledge that you feel would be of benefit to our school, and you are willing to donate your time to the school, then we would love to hear from you.
