Welcome to our Curriculum Page

St Joseph's is proud to say that we offer a broad and balanced curriculum which enables all children to develop knowledge, skills and understanding that are relevant to them both now and for their future.  At the heart of our curriculum is our mission to carry out the mission of the Church, that is to spread the Good News and teach Gospel values.  Through the curriculum, we aim to provide opportunities which develop aspiration, develop independent, resilient learners who show compassion towards others and who have the personal qualities necessary to flourish in the next stage of their school life.  To read more about our curriculum intent, please click here.

Some curriculum areas are taught through topics.  Please click here to see our whole school topic overview.  Other subjects are taught separately.  Please use the links on the left to find out more about the curriculum in each year group.  

We aim to enable children to have a breadth and depth of learning experiences, not just within the curriculum but beyond the confines of the classroom, opening our children's eyes to the world around them. Each year group will be given the opportunity for at least one termly external visit, to experience the world of work and the wider world around them. Additionally, each year group has an 'Activity Passport' which builds opportunities into the curriculum to faciliate experiences for our children that they may not otherwise have. Our curriculum content is designed to prepare our children for an aspirational future and, working alongside many other professional organisations and agencies, we offer an array of opportunities and experiences. We also have a careers and vocations programme for all of our children, particularly our Year 5 and 6 pupils, enabling them to learn about the range of career opportunities that are available to them, not just in the present, but also later on in life. 

If you would like to know more about the curriculum, please contact the class teacher or school office.
