CURRICULUM
The curriculum at St Matthew’s Primary School creates curious, self-motivated learners who are able to confidently engage with the world around them.
CURRICULUM INTENT
Through our curriculum all children develop self-confidence and positive relationships. We promote support and coping skills and ensure all learners experience and celebrate achievement and success.
Our pupils are our future community. Our curriculum takes all of our pupils on a journey which provides opportunities to develop skills and knowledge; both academic and personal, which will ensure that success is achievable for all, regardless of circumstance.
Our curriculum inspires learners to be aspirational and to be prepared for their next stage of their education; developing citizens of an ever changing world. Pupils are aware of their impact on the local and global environment in terms of health and wellbeing, in addition to their social and economic influence.
We discover and grow individual talents, broaden our learners’ horizons and raise aspirations through our everyday curriculum and memorable opportunities.
SUBJECT LEADERS
Subject leaders in our school are implementing the curriculum that we have mapped out for the whole school and is followed by all year groups. They will be continually collaborating with teachers to discuss the sequencing of lessons and ensuring a high quality curriculum is taught to all.
