Religious Education

In Year 3, our Religious Education curriculum is rooted in the new RED (Religious Education Directory), guiding children to grow in faith, knowledge, and love of God. This Jubilee Year offers a special opportunity to deepen our understanding of God’s mercy and joy. Through engaging stories from Scripture, prayer, and creative activities, children explore key themes such as belonging, forgiveness, and the life of Jesus. We celebrate the richness of our Catholic tradition while encouraging pupils to reflect on how they can live out Gospel values in their daily lives. The Jubilee theme inspires us to be people of hope and joy, sharing God’s love with others in our school and wider community.

Maths

We use the Power Maths programme to help children develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts through fun, interactive lessons. Power Maths follows a mastery approach, encouraging children to explore, reason, and solve problems with confidence. With a strong focus on practical activities, visual representations, and discussion, children build solid foundations in number, shape, and measures—preparing them for future success in maths. We use Times Table Rockstars to help children build quick recall of multiplication facts and fluency through fun, interactive games. 

Science

We use the White Rose Science scheme to nurture curiosity and develop children's understanding of the world around them. Through hands-on investigations, engaging discussions, and clear progression of scientific knowledge, pupils explore exciting topics such as plants, animals including humans, materials, and habitats. The White Rose approach supports children in asking questions, making predictions, and recording their findings in meaningful ways. Our lessons are designed to build confidence and foster a love of discovery, helping children to see science not just as a subject, but as a way of understanding God’s wonderful creation. 

Foundation Subjects

Our foundation subjects are taught in the afternoons and follow a spiral curriculum, where key knowledge and skills are revisited regularly to help deepen understanding and strengthen long-term learning. Mr Seuke teaches us PE on a Monday and a Friday. Mrs Hunter teaches us music on a Friday. Please visit each curriculum page to find out more information on each subject.
