Curriculum

At Hurworth Primary School the children are at the heart of the curriculum. When children start school they begin their education in the Foundation Stage where they follow the statutory requirements of the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage). After one year in Foundation, children progress to Year 1 and from this year group they will follow the National Curriculum. The National Curriculum, is divided into Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
