Curriculum Provision at The Hayling College 2025/26
Curriculum Intent Overview
Students at Hayling College study a broad, inclusive, and balanced curriculum adapted to smooth the transitions across the key stages. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to be ambitious for all pupils while ensuring learning is successfully adapted to scaffold students of all abilities including those with special educational needs and disabilities to 'unlock their potential'. Student's learning maps are coherently planned and carefully sequenced to build on existing knowledge, to continually interleave past knowledge and skills, and provide assessment as a natural tool to promote progression.
We are proud to be part of the community we live in. Our curriculum places our students meaningfully within Hayling Island. We also take opportunities to promote the wider community and share fundamental British values.
Our overarching aim is for students to leave the Hayling College as Happy, Healthy and High Performing; therefore our curriculum reflects this intention. Reading, Literacy, Numeracy and SMSC are explicitly taught throughout all curriculum areas as well as students having opportunities to develop vocational skills and 'Learning for Life' through our extended curriculum offer.
