Curriculum Intent

Our curriculum has been creatively designed by ourselves to ensure that we meet our curriculum intent statement which is aligned to our ethos and Catholic Values and responds to the communities we represent.

Our curriculum offer ensures that:

• All children’s needs will be met to ensure delivery of a mastery curriculum.
• Aspiration is at the forefront so children understand the purpose of their learning in terms of their career pathways.
• A progressive and sequenced design that allows children to retain and build on their knowledge and skills.

At St Teresa's we believe that everything we do is for the greater glory of God and through Jesus we grow from smallest to greatest as a Catholic community in: faith and love, knowledge and understanding, aspiration and independence.  We develop life-long learners who are confident and resilient in order to succeed in life.

Our curriculum is ambitious and inclusive for all pupils based around the requirements of the National Curriculum and EYFS Framework.  It is made meaningful to our children by contextualising our local area.  It is carefully planned and sequenced to develop the essential knowledge, skills and understanding which are the building blocks for later life.  Reading, and developing a love of reading in all children, provides our children with the tools to become independent and inquisitive learners.  Throughout our curriculum, we provide the opportunities for all children to be immersed in high quality texts that are carefully selected to both engage and promote our love of reading for pleasure.

Our curriculum is underpinned with the Gospel Values of kindness, forgiveness, respect, peace and love.  Our school rules of Ready, Respectful and Safe weave through all we do.  As St Teresa said, 

‘Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God.

Do all that you do with love.’
