Curriculum Statement
Since 2014 we have followed the programmes of study outlined in the revised National Curriculum, which all local authority-maintained schools are required to teach.
Whilst following local and national guidance, we have developed our curriculum specifically to meet the needs of our school community. Whilst there is a focus on English and Maths, this is not at the expense of a broad and balanced curriculum. The curriculum at Halsall School has been carefully designed in consultation with children, staff, governors and parents. It is our aim to educate the children of Halsall School to an exceptional standard, ensuring that they leave us as well-rounded, confident and respectable young Christians through ambitious, high quality teaching, learning and experiences.

Our pupils are offered the opportunities to excel in all areas of the curriculum, whether it be creatively, musically, academically or through sport.
