--- title: "Overview" url: "https://www.st-margarets.durham.sch.uk/curriculum/overview" school: "St Margaret's C of E Primary School" --- # Overview ## Our Curriculum --- At the heart of our curriculum is our school’s Christian vision: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” This biblically-rooted vision shapes the whole life of the school and guides every aspect of our work, learning and relationships. It expresses our desire to be a caring, celebratory, courageous, Christ-like community, rooted in love, where every child is enabled to shine and flourish. Our aim is to provide our children with an engaging, exciting and empowering curriculum that equips them for today and tomorrow. At St Margaret’s the curriculum is designed to: recognise children’s prior learning, provide first-hand relevant learning experiences, allow the children to develop a wide range of learning skills and depth of knowledge, build confidence, independence and resilience, and become creative, critical thinkers. Every child is recognised as a unique individual. We celebrate and welcome differences within our diverse school community. The ability to learn is underpinned by the teaching of basic skills, knowledge, concepts and values with a vision for all to ‘let their light shine’. We provide enrichment opportunities to engage learning. We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives, where there are no limits to curiosity and there is an enthusiasm for new experiences and knowledge. We use our school core values (care, celebration, Christ-like, courage, community rooted in love) to promote positive attitudes to learning together, encouraging all to be respectful of themselves and others, as well as being active citizens both locally and globally #### #### Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) At St Margaret’s C of E Primary School, we believe that inclusive education means providing all pupils with appropriate education and support alongside their peers. The Curriculum is all the planned activities that the school organises in order to promote learning, personal growth and development.
