Our curriculum promotes independence, self-belief, and high aspirations, guiding children on a journey that provides opportunities to develop the skills needed to excel as life-long learners. It ensures that children understand how to protect the safety of themselves, others, and the environment while encouraging kindness, respect, and collaboration. Our curriculum is inclusive, and every effort is made to ensure that it is accessible to all pupils.

Our curriculum is designed with the following aims:

• to provide a broad and inclusive curriculum that meets the needs of all pupils at St Mary Magdalen
• to promote positive attitudes towards learning and school life in general
• to enable all pupils to achieve their full potential, both academically and personally and to celebrate this within the community.
• to promote wellbeing to ensure that all our children realise and feel that they are a valued member of our school and their wider community.

In order to achieve these aims, we have identified four “Curriculum Drivers” that are reflected through all topics and themes. Teachers’ planning ensures that these drivers run coherently across the school and through every subject.
