 Our Curriculum Intent

Please find our curriculum intent statement here: Curriculum intent and vision

Our curriculum vision:

We teach the National Curriculum through cohesive and inspirational learning experiences making sure there is breadth and depth in each subject.  We ensure progression in skills and knowledge for all pupils across the key stage.

Stimulating learning experiences provide opportunities for:

  • creative talents to flourish
  • spiritual development
  • increased social awareness
  • physical development
  • mastery in core skills

Memorable contextualised learning experiences, with links to prior learning, will enhance retention and promote a Growth Mindset.

Parity and inclusivity is promoted by the use of agreed methods and by sharing good practice.

Our learning experiences will provide children with the skills and knowledge to prepare them for future life and to make a positive difference to the world.

Statutory information

RE

Someries Junior School follows The Luton Agreed Syllabus of Religious Education and the school has no affiliation with any particular denomination.

Our Religious Education programme encourages children to become sensitive to other people and to take an interest in and reflect upon the world about us. Religious festivals and celebrations, stories from sacred books and school visits/visitors all contribute towards spiritual awareness and moral values and our ability to co-operate with others with tolerance and goodwill.

Parents have the right to withdraw their child from RE lessons. We ask that, before exercising this right, parents contact the school so that we can discuss the matter and explain our approach to RE.  We ask parents to be aware of the RE syllabus (see link above) and that it is relevant to all pupils and respects their own personal beliefs.
