Curriculum

St Mary’s Catholic Primary School has fully adopted the 2014 National Curriculum across the Key Stage 1 (Years 1 & 2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6) age ranges and Early years foundation stage (EYFS) statutory framework (Reception Class).

We believe that developing, and refining, the school curriculum is an open-ended process and that the content and organisation of the school curriculum should be subject to adaptation and update in order to maintain its relevance and impact over time. We regularly review our curriculum to ensure it remains broad and balanced, whilst providing academic rigour in all subjects. Our aim is to ensure that the curriculum is planned, and organised, in such a way that it builds on the knowledge, skills and understanding of all children, whatever their starting points, as they move through each Key Stage.
