St Paul's C of E Junior School

Aims of our Curriculum

Our values promote positive attitudes to learning which reflect the values and skills needed to promote responsibility for learning and future success. Community involvement is integral to learning at St Paul’s. The children leave us with a sense of belonging to a tightly knit school family and have the confidence and skills to make decisions, self-evaluate, make connections and become lifelong learners.

Our curriculum is designed to: recognise children’s prior learning, provide first hand experiences, allow the children to build resilience and become creative, critical thinkers. Every child is recognised as a unique individual. The ability to learn is underpinned by the teaching of key skills, knowledge, concepts and values with a vision to prepare them for life beyond primary school. We provide wide ranging enrichment opportunities to engage our learners. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time, where there are no limits to curiosity and there is a thirst for new experiences and knowledge.
