Our Ethos

A small federation of small schools in South Norfolk. We are making the schools that we would have wanted to go to. By working together in collaboration, we improve one another and support each other to grow. Sunflowers are known for their resilience and symbolise hope, happiness, and growth. Our federation nurtures childrens’ academic, personal, and spiritual growth. It inspires children, staff, and parents to strive for excellence in all aspects of their life, just as sunflowers grow towards the sun and reach their full potential.

The roots, for Brooke CE VC’s church foundations, indicate that we are rooted and grounded in God's love, which is at the core of all our actions and educational philosophy. The stem represents our curriculum, which provides a strong foundation for our children across both schools to grow and thrive. The leaves symbolise our values, which drive our decision-making and behaviour. The petals are indicative of our key focuses such as DEI, careers, and compassion. Lastly, the bees and butterflies that are flying away from the sunflower represent the things that we want our children to leave us with, which are the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to make a positive impact in the world.

Science

At Hempnall Primary School, we encourage children to be inquisitive throughout their time at the school and beyond. Children are encouraged to ask questions and be curious about their surroundings and a love of science is nurtured through a whole school ethos and a varied science curriculum. The Science curriculum fosters a healthy curiosity in children about our universe and promotes respect for both the living and non-living. We believe science encompasses the acquisition of knowledge, concepts, skills and positive attitudes. Throughout the programmes of study, the children will acquire and develop the key knowledge that has been identified within each unit and across each year group.  The key knowledge identified by each key stage is informed by the national curriculum and builds towards identified phase end points. Key skills are also mapped for each year group and are progressive throughout the school.  These ensure systematic progression to identified skills end points which are in accordance with the Working Scientifically skills expectations of the national curriculum.  The curriculum is designed to ensure that children are able to acquire key scientific knowledge through practical experiences; using equipment, conducting experiments, building arguments and explaining concepts confidently. We are beginning to identify access to people with specialist expertise and places of scientific interest to develop aspirations and opportunities for all children here at Hempnall. Cross curricular opportunities are identified, mapped and planned to ensure contextual relevance as often as possible.
