our ambitious curriculum
INTENT IMPLEMENTATION IMPACT
Our ambition is for all children to become effective and skillful communicators, developing ways to express themselves based on their own ideas and experiences.
At Harrington Nursery School our curriculum acknowledges;
“I come not with my own strengths but bring with me the gifts, talents and strengths of my family, tribe and ancestors.” (Te Whariki:12)
Our intent is to build on and extend these experiences enabling Every Child to Succeed.
Language and Communication and Reading is at heart of our curriculum. Our ambition is for all children to become effective and skillful communicators, developing ways to express themselves based on their own ideas and experiences and to acquire a love of reading.
At Harrington Nursery School our provision truly reflects our vision for learning and is carefully planned to offer rich, meaningful and joyful experiences for all children. At Harrington, our intention is for all children to learn through a mix of dynamic, hands on learning experiences supported by highly skilled and caring adults. The curriculum is delivered through the many experiences provided, the resources and the interactions that are built into play and the occasions of ‘direct teaching’ throughout the day, everyday. The learning environment is linked to how and what children learn and is valued as a ‘teacher’!
Bush Buddies
In partnership with the YMCA and Derby Wildlife Trust, we have restored an attached walled secret garden to a beautiful, wooded space to become the new HARRINGTON HEARTLAND.
A canopied covered garden, for safe outdoor learning and play where the children gather as BUSH BUDDIES and each week have fun and learn about nature.
We aim to:
- encourage an environmentally friendly attitude and a love of the natural world.
- nurture and respect the world in which we live.
- encourage a curious and investigative mind.
At Harrington Nursery School we are dedicated to outdoor learning.
