Curriculum

At St George’s we offer a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum which is in line with the National Curriculum set out by the Government. Our curriculum is continually evolving to provide learning experiences which are designed to develop the fundamental skills which our children need to succeed and meet their personalised needs. It is relevant, engaging and interesting.

Our aim is to deliver a curriculum which develops a wide range of skills and knowledge such as an enquiring mind, language and communication skills, creativity as well as the values and social skills needed in everyday life. 

At St George's, all teachers are responsible for providing an inclusive curriculum that is differentiated for those with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND). We have high expectations for all pupils and are committed to ensuring our curriculum complies with the Equality Act 2010 and the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014.

 

In every year group throughout the school the teachers plan a series of topic-based approaches to learning which are firmly rooted upon a set of skills that are progressive. Wherever possible, the topic will be used to link together the core subjects such as English, Maths and Science.

To add the ‘wow’ factor to these topics, each year group also plans a hands-on experience to introduce the topic or a really exciting visit to bring their learning to life. This may be in the form of a trip, for example, to Bishops Wood, The Commandery or a visit from The History Man.

Parents are invited into school to different events including Masses, class assemblies, praise assemblies, school performances and they are also welcome to support staff on school trips.

 

The subject overviews provide detail of the learning that is taking place across each term. The 'golden nuggets' shown on the overview identifies the end of unit summary. We want the children to know and understand more and explain their meaning.
