Curriculum
Our Intent
At St John’s CE Primary School, our curriculum is designed to inspire lifelong learning and is anchored by our core motto: "The JOY of the Lord is Your Strength" (Jesus, Others, Yourself). We deliver an ambitious, sequentially structured, and inclusive education that celebrates the unique identity of every child. By blending a rigorous academic foundation with deep spiritual, moral, and social development, we nurture the curiosity, resilience, and confidence pupils need to flourish. Rooted in our strong Christian family ethos, our curriculum ensures that learning is accessible to all, fostering an environment where differences are celebrated and every individual is fully equipped to realise their God-given potential.
On this page you will be able to find a wide range of information about our curriculum at St. John's. Learning objectives are all based around the National Curriculum. Some subjects follow commercial schemes but others such as geography and history follow a more bespoke approach created by our wonderful staff team. All learning is devised to impart knowledge and skills to our children in interesting and fun ways, providing JOY in living and learning. To extend learning beyond the classroom, our innovative Homework Mats enrich the core curriculum through a balanced blend of academic retrieval, wellbeing practices, and practical skills for life.
Within each subject of the curriculum you will find:
Our statement of intent for that subject and how it is implemented at St. John's
The overview for that subject
What the National Curiculum says
Information about that subject in the EYFS (Reception)
You will also find information about the curriculum studied in each year group by clicking on the page for each class, including examples of our homework mats.
Should you have any questions about the curriculum your child will experience during their time at St. John's, please speak to class teachers in the first instance or I am always happy to help.
Thank you
