Our Curriculum

At St Mary's we aim to deliver an inclusive and engaging curriculum for all children. We strive to ensure our curriculum is broad and balanced and promotes our national values, particularly those of tolerance and mutual understanding.

Our exciting, cross-curricular topics are built on the Statutory Framework for the Ealy Years Foundation Stage (2014) and the National Curriculum (2014) and form a two-year rolling programme.
