Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is designed to provide a broad and balanced education, covering a wide range of subjects, including English, Mathematics, Science, Computing, History, Geography, Art, Design and Technology, Physical Education, and Music. We believe that every child is unique and talented, and we aim to inspire and challenge them to reach their full potential.
Supports and Extra-Curricular Activities
We recognize that every child learns differently and requires support to succeed. Our staff are dedicated to providing individualized support and guidance, both in and out of the classroom. We also offer a range of extra-curricular activities, including sports, music, and art, to encourage children to develop new skills and interests.
Reading and Literature
Reading is an essential part of our school day at St Edmund's. We believe that reading can open doors to new worlds, cultures, and ideas, and we aim to foster a love of reading in every child. Our curriculum includes a range of reading schemes, workshops, and book clubs to promote reading for pleasure and to develop literacy skills.
Maths and Numeracy
Maths is an essential part of our curriculum, and we believe that every child should have a strong foundation in numeracy.

We use a range of resources, including online games and activities, to engage children and promote a love of maths.
Homework and Extended Learning
We recognize that homework and extended learning experiences can be an effective way to reinforce learning and develop new skills. We set regular homework tasks for every child, which are designed to build upon prior learning and develop new skills. We also encourage children to participate in clubs and extracurricular activities, such as sports, music, and art, to develop new interests and talents.
Rewards and Recognition
We believe that every child deserves recognition and reward for their hard work, good behavior, and positive contributions to our school community. We use a range of rewards, including merit points, raffle tickets, and certificates, to recognize and celebrate individual achievements.
Parent and Carer Involvement
At St Edmund's, we believe that parent and carer involvement is essential for our children's success. We encourage parents and carers to participate in school life, attend parent-teacher meetings, and take an active role in supporting their child's education.
