Building Knowledge Across the Curriculum
At Holy Trinity Primary School, we believe that a knowledge-rich curriculum is essential for developing strong readers and writers. Our comprehensive approach to History and Geography provides students with the background knowledge and vocabulary they need to access increasingly complex texts and express their ideas with confidence. When students learn about Ancient Rome, Australian explorers, or natural environments, they’re not just building general knowledge—they’re developing the foundation that makes reading comprehension deeper and more meaningful.
We enhance our classroom learning through engaging excursions and incursions that bring subjects to life and create memorable experiences for our students. These hands-on opportunities allow children to connect with the content in authentic ways, building rich mental models that support both their reading comprehension and their ability to write with authority and detail. By deliberately building knowledge across subject areas, we ensure that every child has the tools they need to succeed not just in English, but in all areas of their learning.
