Welcome to Castle Hill Primary School. We are a busy but friendly school, with lots going on.

Curriculum Highlights

Key knowledge is at the heart of the curriculum. Knowledge is specified in fine detail. Knowledge is acquired in long-term memory. Knowledge is carefully sequenced over time. Knowledge is organised into subject disciplines and is derived from discourse within subject communities. Knowledge organisers are used and are sent home each half term. The curriculum uses a topic-based approach with cross-curricular links and visits.

SEND Provision
