Curriculum

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 academic, 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 in order to fulfil their full potential. It is constantly being tweaked, refined and improved so that children develop the knowledge and skills they need to become successful learners; helping prepare them for life in modern Britain and empowering 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.

At Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, children develop a strong sense of moral purpose in addition to a respect and understanding of people who have different characteristics of themselves, whether that be by age, disability, gender, race or sexuality. A rigorous, well-planned curriculum, delivered by dedicated staff in an ethos of care, love and support, enables our pupils to be well rounded, empathetic young people who have a thirst for learning and respect for all around them.

Our curriculum aims to

• Provide the perfect environment for our pupils to grow as individuals. We cultivate creativity, flexibility, lateral thinking and enterprise; we foster intuition and resilience; empathy and courage. At Sacred Heart, we seek to prepare our pupils not just for the next stage of their academic careers but for life.
• Provide a broad and balanced curriculum, one that is stimulating and challenging and enriches the learning of all pupils. Opportunities are developed, both inside and outside the classroom, to encourage our pupils to become learners who are confident, resilient and brave.
• Provide a first-class education within a supportive, friendly and happy environment. We challenge and encourage our pupils to develop their talents and achieve their personal best, whatever their ability.
• Underpin everything that we do with the values that Christ taught us.
