What do we intend?

Every child will access a full and diverse curriculum which challenges and develops children to grow academically, personally and socially. 

Using the ' Joy of the Lord as our Strength' and through our curriculum we are:

  • Believers,  (we know that we can make a difference to our lives and community)

  • Communicators ( we can express ourselves in many different ways )  

  • Explorers (we take part in new and exciting experiences to help us grow)

How will this be achieved?

  • Progression document for all subjects.

  • Clear planning document addresses all aspects of the intent of our curriculum, and this includes EYFS
