Inside the classroom
King Henry VIII Junior School provides children with a broad range of learning opportunities.
In this section
Our curriculum offers a seamless transition from King Henry VIII Pre-Prep in Year 2. Many of the subjects continue to be delivered by class teachers, however, the number of specialist subject lessons increases. This helps children to become more independent and experience a variety of teachers and teaching styles.
There are three main elements: the Academic, the Arts and Sport. The core academic subjects of English and Mathematics lie at the heart of the curriculum but children also study a wide range of other academic subjects including Science, Languages, History, Geography, Religious Education, Art and Design, Music, Computing, PSHEE, Physical Education, Swimming and Games.
From Year 5 onwards, children are taught by a greater number of subject specialists, and are involved in wider learning and collaboration activities with the Senior School.
Information Evenings
At the start of each academic year, information evenings are held for parents of children in every year group at the School. The purpose of these evenings is to give parents detailed information about the subjects and topics within the curriculum their children will be following and to provide information regarding clubs, homework, etc. This allows parents to understand what the School is trying to achieve and support their children’s teachers.
