At St John's, teaching and learning bring our vision to life. We are committed to providing every child with the opportunity to grow, flourish and achieve their full potential, both within the classroom and through a wide range of enrichment and extracurricular experiences. Through our nurturing and inclusive community, we support and inspire every child to discover their unique talents, develop confidence and broaden their horizons.
Our curriculum is designed for all children and is built on the belief that every pupil can succeed. We provide a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum that is accessible to everyone, with high expectations for all learners. Every child is encouraged and supported to participate fully, make excellent progress and achieve their potential.
Through carefully planned teaching strategies, adaptive practice and evidence-informed pedagogy, we ensure that pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), those from disadvantaged backgrounds, and children who speak English as an Additional Language (EAL) can access the same high-quality curriculum as their peers. Appropriate scaffolding and targeted support enable all pupils to achieve challenging learning outcomes, while maintaining our high aspirations for every child. We do not lower expectations through separate or reduced curricula; instead, we adapt our teaching to ensure all pupils can engage, succeed and thrive.
Please explore the information below to find out more about our curriculum. You will find details about what children are learning in each subject, as well as guidance on how you can support your child's learning at home.

To meet the needs of our mixed-age classes, we follow a two-year curriculum cycle; Year A and Year B. This ensures full coverage of the National Curriculum while allowing children to revisit key concepts, deepen understanding and apply learning in new contexts.
See the long-term plans below to see what your child will be learning about this year.
Additionally, knowledge organisers can be found here. These guides are full of key vocabulary, facts, diagrams and timelines to support learning in class and at home.
Together, we learn, grow and flourish.
