Curriculum

Our curriculum is designed to ensure pupils: 

• Develop the key skills they need to access the broad curriculum, leading to increased confidence to learn and the ability to succeed. 
• Can develop and excel in a range of subjects, so we can develop potential mathematicians, writers, historians, geographers, scientists, theologists, culturalists, sportspeople … 
• Set high standards for themselves and develop the knowledge and skills needed to become life-long learners and reach their true potential 

At  St. Joseph’s we use the Little Wandle programme to teach phonics in KS1 and Foundation Stage. This is a systematic teaching of synthetic phonics and is a highly successful way of developing children’s reading, spelling and language.
