School Curriculum

At St. John’s, we offer a curriculum rooted in high-expectation and ambition for all of our pupils.

Our curriculum is interwoven with our Christian vision Together We Grow Stronger and our values of Love, Hope and Trust.

LOVE as we are gentle and loving to one another and have a love of learning;

HOPE as we aspire to grow stronger together, in strength and courage, and challenge ourselves to be the best we can be;

TRUST as we trust in God and become trustworthy global citizens.

Our learners are supported to develop their learning skills throughout their time at St. John's, and our curriculum is planned sequentially, with key knowledge, vocabulary and skills mapped out, ensuring both teachers and pupils are clear what they are expected to learn.

Our curriculum places a strong emphasis on mastering foundational skills - those portable abilities essential for both learning and future success. These include - but are not limited to - decoding and fluency in reading, handwriting, spelling and grammatical sense in writing, and arithmetic in maths. For children to access our broad and exciting curriculum, we will ensure they have mastered the basics.

Through this curriculum, we aim to broaden the children’s knowledge and understanding of the world around them and provide them with high-quality teaching and memorable learning experiences, ensuring that they learn more and remember more.

We aim to give our children the best possible start to their spiritual journey, to their lives as learners, and for their roles in modern British society.
