Remote education is provided when the Government states school is closed during term time and school would have otherwise been open.

Remote education is not provided when a child is absent due to illness and therefore is too ill to attend school.​​

INTENT:

St John's curriculum intends to...

• provide a Catholic setting in which all children can grow in understanding, acquiring valuable skills, attitudes and values.
• foster a growth of commitment to the love and service of Christ through the teaching and practices of the Catholic Church.
• educate the whole child; assisting in the formation of happy, confident, caring, responsible citizens who know themselves and the world in which they live.
• shape today's children to meet tomorrow's challenges in an ever changing world.
• address the requirements of the National Curriculum by adequately resourcing curriculum areas and creating a wide range of learning opportunities.
• strive for the highest possible standards of behaviour and all-round achievement.

IMPLEMENTATION:

St John's curriculum is implemented through...

• careful mapping of the National Curriculum into meaningful and exciting units of learning.
• structured sequences of teaching which build upon children’s prior experiences, knowledge and skills whilst introducing new ideas, vocabulary and concepts in a timely way.
• the opportunity for skills and knowledge to be embedded and revisited.
• careful ongoing assessment ensuring we respond to the needs of our children.
• a wide variety of teaching and learning strategies which address children’s individual needs.
• all leaders sharing their knowledge and expertise to ensure the best outcomes for all our children.
• inviting visitors, parents and specialist teachers into school to support and enrich our curriculum.
• working with local theatres, museums and art galleries to engage and inspire all our children.
• stimulating and welcoming classrooms and the whole school environment.
• engaging in special themed days/weeks of learning.
• opportunities for learning beyond the classroom – strong links with home and participation in a wide range of competitions and events in the local area.

IMPACT:

We want children to leave St John's...

• knowing and understanding the teachings of Jesus.
• as engaged, confident and happy learners who approach challenges with determination and resilience asking for help when necessary.
• as polite, friendly and caring members of the community.
• with a love for learning and a wide range of interests.
• having achieved their full potential in all aspects of learning.
• with the knowledge, skills and understanding they need for secondary school and beyond.
