Curriculum

All Saints Catholic Primary Curriculum

As a Catholic learning community, we have developed a curriculum which aims to aspire children to excel, celebrate achievement and values the uniqueness of everyone.

We recognise that pupils learn best when they feel happy, safe and secure. We are extremely proud of our supportive, nurturing school environment where shared values and positive relationships underpin a fully well-rounded education.

Through the delivery of an enriched, broad and balanced curriculum, our children will develop resilience, determination and resourcefulness, becoming reflective reciprocal learners.

In providing a progression of skills and knowledge we aim to ensure that our children are ready as independent, critical thinkers for their next stage of learning.

The key aims of our curriculum are: 

• To help all our children develop a relationship with God; to understand and grow in their faith, building firm spiritual foundations for life 
• To ensure our curriculum promotes respect for all irrespective of race, religion or gender. We will be mindful that resources do not use stereo-typical images, rather that we present children with role models from a range of backgrounds and cultures reflecting the diverse nature of our school
• To fulfil all the requirements of the National Curriculum, embedding secure basic skills and enhancing creative and academic knowledge. By making links and promoting real contexts for learning- making it real and relevant- we aim to encourage an excitement in children to extend their knowledge and understanding of the world around them, where they may be ambitious for themselves.  
• To provide an ambitious, sequenced curriculum, designed to give all learners the knowledge, skills and understanding they need for future learning and to succeed. Providing a curriculum that is high challenge and low threat
• To deliver high quality teaching of powerful knowledge, alongside robust assessment, so pupils know more and remember more  
• To adapt teaching and learning, employing a range of pedagogical strategies, so all pupils can access the curriculum as well as the wider life of the school, and fulfil their potential academically, creatively, spiritually, socially and physically 
• To promote self-belief; that our pupils develop confidence, resilience and independence, enabling them to grow into successful, informed and responsible citizens, able to communicate effectively, articulate their ideas and challenge inequality and injustice  
• To provide opportunities for meaningful enrichment experiences across the curriculum to strengthen and deepen learning 
• To foster in our children a love of learning by making it fun and to model that learning is a life-long process
