Four Purposes
At St Joseph’s the Four purposes of the new Curriculum for Wales drive our provision for teaching and learning. Through a broad and balanced curriculum, we enable all pupils to be:
Ambitious, capable learners ready to learn throughout their lives
Enterprising, creative contributors ready to play a full part in life and work
Ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world
Healthy, confident individuals ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society
PE Days
In Nursery, children take part in physical development activities everyday. Once a week they take part in a Real PE session - children are not expected to wear anything specific on this day.
Class Charter
At the start of each year, our pupils reflect on what should be shared values of a rights-respecting classroom. Pupils consider, in conjunction with the UNCRC, their rights and responsibilities, to ensure that all pupils are happy, safe and can meet their full potential within the classroom environment. The charter is ‘signed’ by all pupils and is displayed in the classroom.
Typical Daily Timetable
Each day children will participate in a CKC skills focus and a mathematical development focus. In addition children will share a healthy snack.
Throughout the week, children will also access all other areas of the curriculum and participate in an outdoor learning day as well as focus activities in Religious Education.
