Curriculum

St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School

Intent Statement

 

At St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School our intent is inspired by our mission statement, which is to ‘Live Life to the Full’.  As a Catholic school, the ethos of Catholic education

remains at our core, allowing children to develop as their own special person academically, spiritually and emotionally. Children are given the opportunity to live out the gospel values in school, working with the wider community and through charity work.

 

Our aim is to provide children with a safe, nurturing environment, in which they are

encouraged to dream big, aim high and to believe that anything is possible. We want

children to leave us as happy and confident young people in pursuit of their own personal excellence and preparing our children with life long skills that lead to being well rounded citizens.

 

Our curriculum focuses on inspiring and providing opportunities for mastery, creating

writers, mathematicians, artists, musicians, historians, geographers, engineers or

whatever their hearts desire. Time is available for children to be curious explorers in a wide variety of experiences in order to master curriculum areas and find their skills and talents. Time is given to children to reflect on learning, to review, revise and improve.  Our school celebrates and recognises the benefits of outdoor learning – using the Forest School to impact learning and celebrating the environment and community in which we live and learn.  

 

We pride ourselves on knowing that each one of our children is different and special in their own right. We promote an inclusive curriculum to inspire and encourage children to be the very best that they can be. We strive for children to leave St Joseph’s Catholic

Primary School with a happy and healthy heart and mind and the most amazing memories that will last them a life time.
