RHE is learning all about ourselves
At Hawthorne Primary School, our children are at the heart of everything that we do. Our school values underpin all that we do, putting children at the heart of every decision:
Aspiration – Celebrating Diversity – Creativity – Confidence – Enjoyment – Honesty – Perseverance – Pride – Respect - Responsibility
Every day, we aim to live together harmoniously, laugh a lot and learn. We champion every child to have the knowledge, confidence, and aspiration to become the best version of themselves so that they can make a positive contribution in an ever-changing world.
Our curriculum is both knowledge rich and experiential, which has been carefully designed and developed, reflective of the needs and interests of all our children. Equipping our children with the skills which will support them on their next stage in education and the wider world.
Our principles are: REAL
R -Rich Vocabulary
E – Experiential

Rich Vocabulary:
In RHE rich vocabulary underpins our planning. Every child is expected to know the correct vocabulary so they can effectively communicate their thoughts and ideas. Our curriculum is carefully planned, through high quality resources and experiences, so that children develop their vocabulary and apply it to different experiences. The component knowledge lists the important vocabulary for each topic.
Experiential:
Our children are provided with real memorable experiences to really develop their cultural capital. For example, at Hawthorne we have Anti-bullying award training, Playground buddies, mental Health workshops with Notts county, and raise awareness during mental health week. We also have sports Leaders and a debate club. In year 6 the children also follow the DARE programme. There is also Boccia club for those children that struggle with their confidence. We have also attended ‘Show Racism the red card’ with some of our children in years 5 and 6.
We also have assemblies on our values, celebrate World Children’s day and take part in Anti-bullying week and take part in Remembrance day.
Aspiration
In terms of aspiration, our children will hold high aspirations for themselves, and the local community. They will understand the importance of not giving up and demonstrate resilience when faced with difficulties; knowing the importance of striving for our goals. They will be prepared for the next stage of their journey and be equipped to make choices about their future aspirations. Our values are displayed in school and we also have Notts County come in and lead mental Health workshops. Every year we have Scarf workshops for both the Teachers and children. We also promote improving our own environment and community through litter picks and having a community bread wrapper bin.
Life Skills
Our children will be equipped with the life skills to enable them to make choices that will keep them safe in the wider world. They will make a positive contribution to and be for prepared for life in the modern world. Our curriculum is an enquiry curriculum and we have progression in our KKPD’s across the school for working scientifically and our component knowledge. This will help our children understand the uses and implications of RHE, today and for the future. In year 5 they helped raise money for endangered animals in the rainforest as part of their enquiry. They had to design what they were going to do and implement it. The children take part in DARE, Notts County Mental Health workshops
