“With Faith, Hope and Love We Can Achieve Greater Things.”

“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Three things will last forever- faith, hope and love- and the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 New Living Translation

Vision Statement:

At St Clements, we aim to ensure that everyone thrives within our caring Christian community.

We will use our Christian Values and Bible verse to provide hope during difficult times, gain strength from our faith and ensure love guides us, as an inclusive school family, in all of our actions.

Curriculum Intent

Rationale

At St. Clements, our curriculum is underpinned by our vision statement, ’We aim to ensure that everyone thrives’. As a result, our curriculum:

is inclusive and inspiring for our learners
is ambitious for what our pupils will achieve
provides cultural experiences to address local deprivation
is coherently planned and sequenced to promote an accumulation of significant knowledge and skills
allows a flexible approach to be adaptive to the needs of all learners.

At St. Clements, we recognise the power of the curriculum to enhance learning across all subjects, and engage all types of learners; we truly teach a broad and balanced curriculum. Our curriculum is knowledge engaged, giving knowledge, skills and understanding equal weight. Every child at St. Clements is celebrated for what they can do, and encouraged to fulfil their potential. We prioritise the curriculum in our timetables to ensure an accumulation of significant knowledge and skills, enabling every child to express their talents and interests. Teachers have a good subject knowledge and plan with the curriculum aims in mind, ensuring that work is both adaptive and ambitious; inclusive and inspiring

Planning

Our long-term curriculum overview maps the curriculum content across each year and term (agreed with teachers before the commencement of the academic year). At the start of each academic year, subject leads plan the knowledge and skills they will address in each term, using medium term plans. This gives teachers the tools to plan effectively each term, set up learning organisers that are introduced at the beginning and reviewed at the end in most subjects and to ensure sufficient coverage and depth in the curriculum. Teachers are given the flexibility to adapt curriculum content, providing it meets the curriculum intent for our pupils. The curriculum is organised into topics for each year group to spark the interest of and engage our pupils, with a new topic taught each term to deliver the aims of the national curriculum.
