Curriculum Overview

At St Gabriel’s Catholic Primary School, we aim to ensure our children benefit from a broad, balanced and experiential curriculum, which is rich in progressive knowledge and skills.

Reading lies at the heart of the curriculum at our school, with an emphasis on reading to learn. Development of communication and language is paramount, as well as the acquisition of high quality, subject-specific vocabulary.

Through quality first-hand visits and visitors, across the whole curriculum, we are committed to enriching the life experiences for all our pupils. Therefore, our curriculum prioritises all curriculum subjects, combining SMSC and our School’s Core Values. Our curriculum is designed to cater for the needs of all pupils so that they achieve to the best of their ability and have aspiration and ambition for their future.
