St Vincent’s Vision Statement
Together, through Christ, we grow and learn
St Vincent’s Curriculum Intent
At St Vincent’s, our broad and balanced curriculum is designed to encourage children to be lifelong learners who are curious about the world around them. We want children to have the skills to thrive in their futures. As a Catholic school, we value each child for their individuality and the gifts they have been given, and our curriculum encourages children to develop these gifts and use them to contribute to society. Children develop their sense of belonging to our school family and we celebrate and champion everyone’s differences. Through our school environment and the different experiences we offer (cultural capital), children become aware of different issues facing the world today.
It is important that children develop the necessary tools to navigate through their life. Our curriculum ensures that the importance of spiritual, mental and physical health is taught as well as strategies for children to use so that they are able to tackle the highs and lows of life. We want children to become critical thinkers who care for those around them.
St Vincent’s is a diverse school and our curriculum ensures that every child is valued and celebrated whilst being appropriately supported and challenged. Children are ambitious, want to learn more and have high aspirations for their futures. Through regular opportunities for working together, children learn to solve problems effectively as well as learning to become life-long independent learners.
