Intent of our curriculum

​

We provide an exciting, engaging, broad and balanced curriculum within a happy, safe and nurturing learning environment, underpinned by our Mission Statement ‘Learning through faith, love and respect’ and our core values.

​

Our St. Marie’s curriculum reflects our commitment to nurturing the whole child, enabling every pupil to develop the knowledge, skills and values they need to flourish in today’s world and prepare for the next stage of their learning and for the wider world.

​

Our bespoke, enquiry-based curriculum, based on the National Curriculum, recognises and celebrates the uniqueness of every child. We value each child’s individual strengths, interests and talents, personalising learning and providing opportunities for all to achieve their full potential. We celebrate diversity, promote equal opportunities and encourage respect for ourselves, others and the world around us. Through our faith and shared core values, we support children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, helping them to grow as caring, respectful and responsible members of society.

​

We have high expectations for all our pupils and foster a culture of aspiration, challenge and curiosity. Through varied and stimulating learning experiences, children are encouraged to ask questions, explore new ideas, solve problems and become critical and creative thinkers. We nurture independence, collaboration and interpersonal skills, while building confidence, self-esteem and resilience. We encourage children to embrace new challenges, learn from their experiences and discover the joy of learning.

​

We enrich our curriculum through extra-curricular activities, educational visits, experiences beyond the classroom, awareness days, themed weeks and opportunities to engage with our local community in order to develop a sense of belonging.

​

Above all, at St. Marie’s we strive to create a happy and enjoyable learning journey where every child feels valued, supported and inspired. Through our curriculum, we aim to foster a lifelong love of learning, a thirst for knowledge and the confidence, creativity and independence to embrace future opportunities and challenges.
