Curriculum

What does learning look like at St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School?

St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School is officially open from 9am- 3:30pm each day which equals to 32.5 hours per week. We do provide a breakfast club from 8am and a tea club from 3:30-6pm. In addition, we provide 5 weeks of afterschool activities per half term on a Tuesday to Friday from 3:30-4:30pm. We open our classrooms from 8:45am each morning to allow children to settle and begin their learning promptly at 9am; activities are provided during this time.

At St. Mary’s, our curriculum offer is fully embedded. All changes were implemented into the curriculum in 2021-2022 or before this; meaning that the curriculum that is taught to the pupils is well developed in every subject. We have specialist teaching in Science, Music, French, PE and Computing. The teachers all receive high quality training, which is linked to our School Development Plan, to ensure that the lessons that are taught to the pupils are all of an exceptionally high standard.

We meet the needs of all pupils. As part of the wider curriculum, we ensure that the children are given an exceptional range of experiences.

Remote Learning

Due to a long term illness or surgery, your child may have access Remote Learning via Google Classroom. We will provide all resources necessary. If needed, please discuss this with a member of staff.

The Pupil Progress Booklets can lend you a helping hand if you are wanting to provide additional support to your child.

Each booklet lists every skill your child needs to know for the Key Stage 1 and 2 English, Maths and Science Programmes of Study — outlined in the National Curriculum.

They’re split up by subject and topic so it’s easy to tick off what your child has mastered — or what may need a little more practice!
