For Our Children
(please see documents below for our full curriculum statement and a parents guide to the curriculum)
Intent
We intend for you to leave our St Bede’s family:
- Having reached your full potential and being aware of the unique gifts God has given you
- As an independent, happy and confident young person with a love of learning
- With a healthy body and mind, and the resilience to cope with difficulties and failure
- As a creative and imaginative learner, who has enjoyed learning both through study and play
- Knowing the difference between right and wrong
- Caring for and respecting others, in both our local community and in the wider world
- Understanding the importance of caring for our world and all of God’s creatures in it
Implementation
In order to support you on this journey we will:
- Ensure that you know what you are learning and why in each lesson and how to improve
- Teach a curriculum which is relevant and meaningful for you that develops your skills and concentrates on you knowing more and remembering more
- Help you to build on your knowledge in a structured way by planning sequentially in all subjects so that your learning builds on what when before
- Plan and deliver exciting lessons which are clear, creative and inspire a love of learning
- Provide a range of extra-curricular visits and opportunities for you to enhance your curriculum and make learning experiences relevant and memorable
- Provide you with opportunities to take responsibility and have your voice heard
- Allow you to engage in creative and exciting play at break times and provide a stimulating environment to encourage this
- Develop your whole self by providing a safe and nurturing environment, with opportunities for emotional and spiritual growth and development
- Celebrate success both in and out of school, always acknowledging your unique talents
Impact
We will know if we have been successful in our mission and see the impact through:
- Your books, class books, observations, assessments, progress and discussion will demonstrate how successful you are academically whilst at St Bede’s
- Pupil questionnaires will measure how safe and happy you feel about all aspects of school life
- The way you behave and the respect you show towards each other and all members of our community will show that you are able to be a kind and caring citizen
- Your care and passion for the environment and all the creatures in our natural world will show that you understand the importance of looking after our planet
- We hope you will leave St Bede’s as a confident, happy and well rounded young person who knows they are loved by God and understands the difference between right and wrong
