We hope that you will take the time to come and see and experience for yourself the warm and welcoming atmosphere here at Barton Hill.

Our Curriculum

At Lift Barton Hill we aim to make learning aspirational, creative and fun- we plan creative learning journeys for our children, based on what we know they need to learn, what is relevant for them, the National Curriculum and some of their own ideas and interests. The process of planning a creative, quality rich learning experience is consistent throughout the school.

We have used information in the National Curriculum and are careful to plan a high quality starting point, or focus for the creative learning journey- something real for the children to experience, often a well-planned high quality trip, exploring the local environment and beyond.

The teachers introduce the theme to the children- and get their input to be added to the web diagrams. They decide on what the final experience is going to be for the learning journey (for example- this could be an exhibition, a performance, a trip etc.)

Our curriculum map skills and the National curriculum are used as signposts along the creative learning journey to ensure continuity and progression- we use them in a cross curricular way (so for instance, letter writing might be taught through a project all about Power of reading book being studied).

Our Specialism and Awards

We hold International School Status and the Arts Mark 'gold' award for our creative curriculum.
