Curriculum

There is one registration class in each Year Group and the teachers plan meticulously to meet the needs of our children and to satisfy the requirements of the National Curriculum 2014.  There are times when an individual child or small group of children may work with a teacher or teaching assistant away from the classroom.

Sometimes, a teacher with a particular expertise, e.g. computing, music, P.E., will take another teacher’s class for a specific lesson.

Sometimes subject experts are used to cover particular aspects of the curriculum, for example music.

We currently teach French as a Modern Foreign Language in Key stage 2.  There is one French lesson per week.

Swimming lessons currently take place in Years 3,4 and 5; each class has lessons for 1 term and these take place at the local leisure centre.

We are fortunate to have 2 Forest Schools on site which all classes access throughout the year.

Our main aim here at St Joseph's is to offer a broad and balanced curriculum which is enriched with challenge, variety and fulfillment. Further detail about the curriculum can be found on the class pages of the website or should you wish to you can contact your child's class teacher via the school office (details below).
