Our Curriculum
Our vision for all in our school is to Aspire, Discover and Flourish so that each person fulfils their potential.
“…with God, all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
Our school curriculum comprises all learning and other experiences that we plan for our children. Our main aims are to provide opportunities for all children to learn and achieve; to promote children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and to prepare them for the opportunities and experiences of their next stage of education and future life. Our curriculum is planned so that children are inspired, encouraged and challenged to develop their individual potential and personality to the full. It is constantly evolving to develop the skills needed for children to become successful learners, help prepare them for life in modern Britain and empower them to achieve success in the future. We have designed our curriculum to reflect our aims and also to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum and other government guidance.
The primary purpose of our curriculum is to guarantee a successful learning experience for every child. With this in mind, we are committed to ensuring that every child is developed to their full potential:
- Every child will be educated to the highest possible standard, as set by the Department for Education.
- Every child, in every lesson, will be provided with opportunities to: be engaged in, challenged in and process their learning.
- Every child will be provided with opportunities to increase their self-esteem, motivation and aspirations.
- Every child will be encouraged to be enterprising and entrepreneurial in order that they may succeed in an ever-changing job market.
- Every child will be provided with opportunities to experience the wider world as a core part of their curriculum.
- Every child will be taught about budgeting and financial management in order that they may succeed in an increasingly unpredictable financial world.
Our daily Assessment for Learning and timely feedback means that teachers and pupils always know exactly how much progress they are making and where they may need more help.
Our broad and balanced curriculum is designed to:
- Develop strong characters in order to be resilient and cope with adversity.
- Develop creative individuals who collaborate and co-operate and can solve problems seeing failure as an opportunity to learn.
- Develop pupils who can think critically and care about their learning so they always do their best.
- Develop pupils who care about their role as part of a family, community and the wider world; encouraging them to feel part of, and to contribute positively to fundamental British values.
- Ensure all pupils have high aspirations.
- Develop a thirst for learning for all pupils
