Our Curriculum Intent

Our intention is to fulfil our school’s Mission and Vision Statements, and to do this with care, courtesy and commitment.

Mission Statement

In Christ's family we grow together, sharing our learning and love.

Vision Statement

We aim to inspire our children and families to grow closer to God, turn their dreams into reality, love themselves and others and be confident and prepared for life’s journey.

Our Curriculum

Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School aims to deliver the National Curriculum in a way that allows pupils, including those with SEND, to become increasingly proficient in developing lifelong skills, knowledge and understanding. We see the importance of creating lifelong learners who demonstrate an understanding of Catholic Social Teaching. For that reason, Catholic Social Teaching is at the heart of our curriculum. This means that throughout our curriculum we teach our children about:

  • The dignity of the human person

  • We are called to live as a family and community

  • Rights and responsibilities

  • We are called to stewardship

  • An option for the poor and vulnerable

  • The dignity and rights of workers

  • Solidarity

  • Promotion of peace.

The intention of our curriculum is that, following their primary school journey, our pupils will

  • Be inspired to have a love of learning- they will be reflective learners with enquiring mind.

  • Communicate effectively through spoken and written forms using rich and varied vocabulary.

  • Have an appreciation and understanding of God’s diverse and creative world and the people within it.

  • Have an awareness of global and national issues and an understanding of the impact they can have.

  • Be able to make links between previous learning and new knowledge and skills.

  • Be respectful and resilient learners with the confidence to speak out for what is right.

  • Think creatively to solve problems independently and collaboratively.

  • Be responsible and reflective citizens with an understanding of how to keep themselves and others safe.

  • Be able to make active and healthy lifestyle choices.

  • Have skills to access their next phase of education and an increasingly diverse world of knowledge.
