We believe that the purpose of education is to support formation, it is about creating a sense of wonder and awe and opening doors to all sorts of possibilities. The journey is therefore as important as the destination in terms of ensuring goodness: human flourishing.
We believe that to achieve this, our curriculum should be broad and balanced; it should build knowledge, encourage independence, curiosity and creativity; produce collaborators, innovators, leaders and, above all, it should help our children to understand what it means to be human.
There is more information in our termly curriculum overviews for parents/carers, curriculum maps, directories and policies all available in the curriculum section.
Our SJF curriculum aims to provide an exciting curriculum that:
- enthuses, engages and motivates all children
- fosters and encourages natural curiosity, enquiring minds and deep enthusiasm for learning
- enables each child to thrive and achieve their full potential
- empowers children to develop resilience and courage
- embeds, in all children, the attitudes and behaviours necessary for them to be lifelong learners
we aim to provide a safe and secure environment that enables all children to work and play and be encouraged to develop moral values and healthy respect for others.
Our curriculum aims to:
- facilitate positive links to our children’s cultural backgrounds and heritage
- foster strong links between home and school, rooted in the conviction that parents/carers are the first educators, so that we enable, encourage and support them to be active in their children’s school lives and learning
- provides our children with an education that gives them with a solid foundation for the rest of their lives that enables them to grow to be happy and confident citizens, respectful of themselves and others – and with the personal qualities necessary to drive them forwards in the pursuit of their dreams and ambitions, including confidence, courage motivation and resilience.
