​Our Curriculum Vision

At St Thomas CE Primary School, we believe every child deserves a broad, ambitious and enriching curriculum that enables them to flourish academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.

Guided by our vision,"From Tiny Seeds, Grow Mighty Trees," we provide learning experiences that inspire curiosity, develop knowledge and build the skills children need for their future lives. We want our pupils to become confident, resilient and compassionate learners who are prepared for the next stage of their education and beyond.

Our Aims What Makes Our Curriculum Special?

Our curriculum is designed to ensure that all children:

• Know more and remember more over time

• Develop strong knowledge and skills across a broad range of subjects

• Build confidence, independence and resilience

• Make meaningful connections in their learning

• Develop curiosity and a love of learning

• Are prepared for the next stage of their education and future life

We have high expectations for all pupils and are committed to ensuring every child can achieve success.

Learning Beyond the Classroom

We believe that memorable experiences help children deepen their understanding and bring learning to life.

Children benefit from:

• Educational visits and visitors

• Outdoor learning opportunities

• Sporting events and competitions

• Music, arts and performance opportunities

• Church and community partnerships

• Leadership and enrichment activities

 

These experiences help broaden children's horizons and develop the cultural capital needed for future success

​

Learning for Life

Our curriculum develops not only academic knowledge but also the personal qualities children need to thrive.

Through our curriculum, children learn to:

• Be curious and ask questions

• Work collaboratively with others

• Show kindness, respect and responsibility

• Persevere when challenges arise

• Reflect on their learning and experiences

• Appreciate and celebrate diversity

 

Our Christian values of Belong, Hope, Aspire, Believe, Love and Thanks underpin all aspects of school life and help shape the children we aspire to nurture.
