Our Curriculum at St Mary's Catholic Primary School
At St Mary's Catholic Primary School, we are committed to providing a broad, balanced, and engaging curriculum that nurtures the growth and development of each child. As a Voluntary Aided school, we are guided by the principles of the Catholic Church, which are woven throughout our teaching and learning.
A Curriculum Rooted in Gospel Values
Our curriculum is underpinned by the Gospel values that are central to our school's vision and ethos. We strive to model and teach the values of good behaviour, respect, inclusion, and honesty, helping our pupils become responsible and thoughtful members of the community.
Fostering Holistic Development
Beyond the core academic subjects, we place a strong emphasis on the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of our pupils. Nutrition, exercise, and healthy living are at the heart of our decision-making, ensuring that our children are equipped to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
Enriching the Learning Experience
To bring our curriculum to life, we offer a variety of enrichment opportunities, including regular educational trips, celebratory days, and school traditions. These experiences not only deepen our pupils' understanding but also foster a sense of community and belonging within our school family.
Preparing for the Future
Our curriculum is designed with the future in mind, equipping our pupils with the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in the working world. We encourage the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, empowering our children to become confident and capable individuals.
Technology-Enhanced Learning
Technology plays a vital role in our curriculum, helping our pupils to develop important digital skills while enhancing their learning experience. From coding and programming to multimedia projects, our children are given the opportunity to explore and apply technology in meaningful ways.
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
At St Mary's, we are dedicated to the ongoing development and improvement of our curriculum. We regularly review and refine our teaching practises, ensuring that our offer remains relevant, engaging, and responsive to the needs of our pupils and the wider community.
