St Vincent's Curriculum – Building the Kingdom

"So God created mankind in his image, in the image of God he created them, " (Genesis 1:27)

Building the Kingdom is a highly ambitious curriculum aimed at challenging every one of our children to discover an authentic love of learning for life.

At St Vincent’s we strive to ensure that each one of our children, as they grow and develop through our school, will come to realise their true ‘giftedness’ as unique human beings, made in God’s image, with a voice for social justice that needs to be heard in the world. Through our inclusive curriculum where every child identifies themselves as part of the journey, we aim to encourage dialogue, discussion and debate with all our children, staff and parents, prompted by our Catholic Social Teaching themes.

How have we designed our Curriculum?

With the National Curriculum as our statutory framework, we have chosen overarching themes which reflect our local, national and global community with strong links to social justice and the greater good. Our aim is to ensure our curriculum prepares all our children for their transfer to secondary school and their aspirations for future careers and ambitions. As children progress through the curriculum, they build on skills and knowledge which deepen their understanding.
