Curriculum Statement

At St George’s, we want every child to enjoy learning and develop the skills they need to succeed in life.

Our curriculum is broad, balanced and connected across subjects so children remember what they learn. It focuses on developing:
 
Mind
Body
Spirit
  • Growth mindset and problem-solving
  • Creativity, confidence and curiosity

  • Physical fitness and healthy choices
  • Participation in sports and teamwork

  • Gospel values lived out daily
  • Kindness, respect, service and care for the world

 

Implementation — How It Works

We ensure learning is purposeful and inclusive by:

 

✔Providing a Christ-centred, safe and supportive environment
✔Planning lessons that build knowledge and skills over time
✔Offering rich experiences, visits and specialist teaching (e.g., French, Music, PE, Computing)
✔Promoting positive behaviour, confidence and resilience
✔Encouraging independence and teamwork across all subjects
 

Children learn through a mix of curriculum themes, discrete lessons and practical activities designed to make learning meaningful and memorable. 


 

Impact — What This Means for Your Child

By the time children leave St George’s:

✔ They will have a strong knowledge base across subjects
✔ They will practise key skills, with a continued focus on reading and maths
✔ They will have had opportunities to explore history, science, art and more
✔ Learning experiences like visits and themed events will help them remember what they’ve learned
✔ Most pupils will move through the curriculum at a similar pace, with extra support where needed
✔ We prioritise deep understanding over rushing through topics

 

In short, children become confident learners with the skills and knowledge to thrive at secondary school and beyond.
