English at Lubavitch MAT Primary School
The study of English develops children’s ability to listen, speak, read and write for a wide range of purposes, including the communication of their ideas, views and feelings. Children are enabled to express themselves creatively and imaginatively as they become enthusiastic and critical readers of stories, poetry and drama, as well as of non-fiction and media texts. Children gain an understanding of how language works by looking at its patterns, structures and origins. Children use their knowledge, skills and understanding in speaking and writing across a range of different situations.
English is usually used when writing a phd dissertation, because it makes it accessible to a wide range of people. If writing in English is still a difficult task for you, you can

Mathematics at Lubavitch MAT Primary School
At Lubavitch Primary School, we endeavour to teach our children a rich and progressive curriculum. We believe that mathematics teaches us how to make sense of the world around us through developing a child's ability to calculate, to reason and to solve problems. In our school we want to help children to understand and appreciate the pattern in both number and space in their everyday lives in and out of school. We encourage the children to develop these key and fundamental skills through their growing knowledge and understanding of the world.
Science Statement of Intent
At Lubavitch Primary School, we recognise the importance of Science in every aspect of daily life. As one of the core subjects taught, we give the teaching and learning of Science the prominence it requires.
The Scientific area of learning is concerned with increasing pupils’ knowledge and understanding of our world, and with developing skills associated with Science as a process of enquiry. It will develop the natural curiosity of the child, encourage respect for living organisms, the physical environment and provide opportunities for critical evaluation of evidence.
The principal focus of Science teaching in EYFS and Key Stage 1 is to enable pupils to experience and observe phenomena, looking more closely at the natural and humanly-constructed world around them. In Key Stage 2 pupils have the chance to broaden their scientific view of the world before developing a deeper systematic style of thinking.
History Statement of Intent
History at Lubavitch aims to help pupils to gain a wider knowledge and understanding of the past and inspire pupils’ curiosity to know more about the things that have happened. We do so by asking questions, think critically, and weigh evidence and arguments. We want pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives throughout history, the process of change, the diversity of societies and the challenges of their time. Our history curriculum provides identity, allows decision-making and judgement.
Geography Statement of Intent
Geography at Lubavitch aims to inspire pupils with a curiosity and fascination about the wider world. Our geography curriculum allows children to develop a sense of place, whilst exploring, investigating and understanding rivers, mountain and other geographical features of the world. We equip our children with knowledge about places, people, resources and natural and human environments. We want our children to gain confidence and practical experiences of geographical knowledge, understanding and skills that explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.
D&T Statement of Intent
Design and Technology at Lubavitch gives children the chance to use creative thinking and design within a defined purpose and product outcome. Through a variety of creative and practical activities, pupils are taught the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to engage in a process of designing and making a product. Through the evaluation of past and present design and technology, they develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world. Design and technology makes an essential contribution towards being creativity, cultured, and thinking innovatively.
Art Statement of Intent
Art and Design at Lubavitch allows the children to stimulate creativity and imagination. It provides visual, tactile and sensory experiences and a special way of understanding and responding to the world. It enables children of all abilities to communicate what they see, feel and think using colour, texture, form, pattern and different materials and resources. We teach and encourage children to explore ideas, shapes, patterns and meanings through the work of a range of artists and designers.
Computing Statement of Intent
At Lubavitch Primary School, we aim to prepare our children to be ‘lifelong learners’ with the confidence and ability to develop their skills and understanding when meeting new challenges. Their learning environment should contribute to the development of these skills and they should have access to suitable, up-to-date equipment and emerging technologies. As computing is an increasing part of life today, it is essential that all pupils gain the confidence and ability that they need in this subject, to prepare them for the challenge of a rapidly developing and changing technological world. The use of ICT will enhance and extend children’s learning across the whole curriculum whilst developing motivation and social skills.
PE Statement of Intent
At Lubavitch Primary School we aim to develop a fun, high-quality physical education curriculum. We will provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. PE is an imperative element of the curriculum, which develops a need for healthy life styles, a balanced diet, positive- growth mind-set and the resilience to persevere with activities that may be once have felt too difficult. We are passionate about the need to teach children how to cooperate and collaborate with others, as part of a team, understanding fairness and equity of play to embed life-long values.
Music Statement of Intent
At Lubavitch, we know that music promotes positivity, self-confidence and a sense of community. Therefore, we believe that it should be a part of our everyday practice, through davening, singing in class or music lessons. In the annual music week there will be an opportunity for the children to create their own instruments and perform for their peers. On this special week there will also be a performance from the school choir.
At Lubavitch Primary School, it is our intent that we make music an enjoyable learning experience. We encourage children to participate in a music week through which we aim to build up the confidence of all children. Music and signing is also developed through Jewish is learning from the Early Years Foundation Stage straight through to Year 6. At every opportunity music and singing is developed through prayer. Particular attention is given to music through Jewish festivals where the children are taught songs that relate to significant events in the Jewish calendar.
Through singing songs, children learn about the structure and organisation of music. ‘Lubavitch Music Week‘ is where we use Lubavitch nigunnim (songs) to help the children understand about the culture and history of our school.
We teach the children to listen and to appreciate different forms of Lubavitch music from around the world in a creative and child-centred way. Children design and make their own instruments. They compose and perform to develop their understanding of musical composition from within the Jewish community at home and overseas, hence there is an international dimension to music week.
Personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) Statement of Intent
Lubavitch Primary School recognises that personal, social, health and economic education is an important and necessary part of all pupils' education. The school teach PSHE, drawing on good practice, and following the expectation as outlined in the introduction to the proposed new national curriculum. The school tailors its PSHE programme to reflect the needs of our pupils and to use PSHE to equip them with a sound understanding of risk and with the knowledge and skills necessary to make safe and informed decisions. We use PSHE education to build, where appropriate, on the statutory content already outlined in the national curriculum, the basic school curriculum and in the statutory guidance. Furthermore, the PSHE curriculum is embedded in both secular and Jewish studies, through our assemblies and school policies.
Learning Hebrew Statement of Intent
As with every language in the world, reading is a source of communication and learning. In particular, the Hebrew language is used for prayer and studying at all levels and ages, hence the reason to learn another language in our school.
Being able to learn the language and know the letters and vowels enables a person of the Jewish faith to connect with and participate in a study session. Hebrew is the language of communication used in Kodesh lessons starting in the EYFS at Lubavitch. The letters and vowels are the basis and foundation all all our written texts in every subject matter of the Kodesh curriculum.
