The study of Mathematics is vital to the development of a systematic and logical approach to problem solving. The effective application of Numeracy is necessary throughout most aspects of everyday life. Mathematics transcends cultural boundaries and plays an essential part in other academic disciplines. At Leaden Hall we believe that pupils should enjoy the study of Mathematics, developing confidence and assurance in the process. It is through thinking, reasoning, discussion and practice, that a true understanding of the subject develops. It contributes to an appreciation of other cultures. 

History fires pupils’ knowledge of the past and how that past has influenced the present helps us to understand and empathise with many aspects of today’s society, beliefs and cultures, both in Britain and the wider world.  History provides a chronological framework for the study of significant events and people.  At Leaden Hall we study History because the skills of historical research, assessing sources, weighing evidence, drawing conclusions and supporting points of view are skills that are prized in adult life.  We believe that an appreciation of our own history and that of other countries and cultures leads to informed opinion about how the events and decision-making processes of today may affect the future

Geography is the study of our environment and the physical and human forces which shape our world.   At Leaden Hall we study geography because we believe it is a body of knowledge essential to our understanding of the world both past and present, providing a framework which links many areas of study.  We believe geographical skills have wide applications in everyday life and environmental awareness is a pre-requisite for responsible participation in society.

At Leaden Hall we are concerned with the education of the whole child. The development of Art and Design Technology will enable the achievement of personal fulfillment and satisfaction.  Success increases self-esteem and gives pleasure in these subjects.  From a confident base the children will learn to ‘see’ as well as to ‘look’.  They will develop practical skills which will enable them to manipulate materials and express themselves creatively, responding to the abundance of visual imagery in the world around.  The study of Design Technology prepares pupils to participate in rapidly changing world.  They learn to think and intervene creatively to improve quality of life.  At Leaden Hall we teach Design Technology to help pupils become discriminating and informed users of products and to encourage innovation and creative thinking.
