Everything we do is with our school mission statement in mind:
“Strong in Faith, Hope and Love, for the Common Good”
and the School Ethos:
“By loving one another as God loves us, we can achieve spiritually and academically”
Pupils’ learning and development should be at the heart of every school’s curriculum. At St. Herbert’s RC Primary School, we believe that each child is unique, made in the image and likeness of God and possesses individual talents. It is our role, as teachers in a Catholic School, to facilitate the realisation of these talents, to nurture these talents and to ensure each child is empowered by the values of our Church. Therefore, our aim is for our curriculum to be broad and balanced and equip pupils with the skills necessary to succeed in life after school, spiritually and academically.
The focus on curriculum development is always carefully designed to ensure coverage and progression. We aim to provide pupils with memorable experiences, in addition to diverse and rich opportunities from which children can learn and develop a range of transferable skills.
Our curriculum has many strengths and is enhanced further by specialist teaching in Music, Foreign Languages and Physical Education.
