At St Joseph’s, our intention is that the curriculum we offer our children is first and foremost one that is rooted in our Catholic faith and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Our well-planned curriculum aims to inspire and excite our children to promote a love of learning as well as develop every child to reach their full potential in a friendly, positive, safe and caring learning environment. Our broad and balanced curriculum is inclusive and relevant, focusing on the individual needs of every child to ensure success whilst providing opportunities for spiritual, personal and intellectual growth.
At St Joseph's we follow the Early Years Curriculum and the National Curriculum for England and Wales (2014) published by the DFE.
