St Louis Catholic Primary School

The Curriculum at St Louis

To love, wonder and achieve together

The curriculum we offer is one where children can develop their many talents, as we know the importance of educating the ‘whole’ person. We provide opportunities for all children to achieve their potential by nurturing their special talents and gifts, which make every child unique.

At St Louis Catholic Primary School our intent is to love, wonder and achieve together. By this we mean:

We recognise, celebrate and respect everyone’s uniqueness – we are made in God’s image
We nurture a lifelong love of learning through a broad and stimulating curriculum that is meaningful and relevant to all children
We provide opportunities for curiosity, discovery and a growth mindset to progress ensuring skills learnt are used beyond the classroom
We develop and use a range of skills so the children fulfil their academic, spiritual, moral and emotional potential
We become confident, independent, resilient and happy learners
We work together to be role models to support local and global communities enabling all to care for our common home

In order to achieve this, it is essential that our curriculum and its implementation is:

Broad, knowledge rich, inspiring and challenging curriculum for all our pupils which is underpinned by their experiences
Purposeful, contextual and meaningful whilst developing an understanding of our community and world
Develop understanding by progressively planning and building on previous knowledge, we deliver content and knowledge in small, well-sequenced steps and consistently use questioning and feedback to address misconceptions and move learning forward for all pupils.
Foundation subjects are taught through a sequenced, blocked approach, to allow for effective spaced learning which is contextually enriched to provide all our children with knowledge, understanding and opportunity.
Opportunities within the curriculum to celebrate their own and other heritages, similarities and differences and build up knowledge, a sense of ambition and attributes, underpinned by our faith, which will prepare them for their next steps in life are planned for.

Our mission and vision underpin all we do, including our curriculum design and planning. It is essential for children to feel safe, secure and happy in order to achieve. The impact of our curriculum is:

They have developed their own talents confidently and looking with enthusiasm to use and apply their skills with success in the next stage of their education.
They are thoughtful to all, caring of their world, ambitious in their dreams
When children leave St Louis, they will have flourished to fulfil their full potential in all areas.

At St Louis, our curriculum enables us … To love, wonder and achieve together.

Our curriculum has been designed to help us fulfil our vision for all our children. We ensure that we follow the requirements of the National Curriculum and that we map skills and knowledge out across all year groups in order to build on children's learning year by year and to ensure that learning is sequenced appropriately.
