Our Curriculum at St John’s

Curriculum Intent Statement

Growing in God’s Love

Our curriculum begins the moment children are welcomed into our school and is comprised of all the carefully crafted decisions we make that impact our learners. Our aim is to prepare our children for their futures, enabling them to use their God-given talents to achieve their full potential. This allows them to live out our virtues and take advantage of every opportunity so that they are well prepared for their life in an ever-changing world.

We nurture self-belief, courage, respect and ambition in our children with our mission that together, for the common good, we are growing in God’s love.

“Love one another just as I have loved you.” John

As a school we will:

  • Build a love of reading for all pupils, using a broad range of texts.
  • Show our high expectations for all our pupils through an ambitious and inclusive curriculum.
  • Provide a broad and balanced curriculum for every child, ensuring learning is correctly and progressively sequenced.
  • Use creative learning opportunities wherever possible so that children can learn actively and in innovative ways.
  • Ensure there are opportunities for links and connections to be made by all our pupils so that they know and remember more.
  • Give our children a thirst for learning and the confidence to use their unique talents to contribute to society as respectful and active citizens.
  • Build resilience and courage as we prepare them for a modern world in which they can adapt, flourish and thrive.

We instill self-belief, courage and ambition in all our pupils with our mission.

We have built a curriculum which is flexible to the needs of our pupils. To find out more about how our curriculum is accessible to those with disabilities or SEN please see our SEND report, policy and offer which can be accessed on our SEND page.
