Statement of Curriculum Intent for the Trust

I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full

John 10: Chapter 10. V 10.

Inspired by Jesus Christ’s example and the Gospel values of love, joy and compassion, we nurture and develop the whole child so that each unique individual grows constantly in confidence, and has the knowledge, skills and self-esteem to achieve their true potential. All children will access a rich, ambitious, challenging curriculum; one that is broad, balanced and relevant, fostering curiosity, creativity and a lifelong love of learning. It will prepare them well for each stage of education, employment or training and enable them, as educated citizens, to contribute to creating a better world.

St Edmund's Curriculum Intent

We are inspired by our Catholic faith and the Gospel vision of love, equality, justice, reconciliation, mutual respect and service. 

We seek to create a learning community which: 

• is a place where our pupils can flourish and grow emotionally, academically, spiritually, physically, morally and socially; 
• ensures every individual feels safe and valued; 
• offers opportunities for all pupils and staff to aspire to achieve our God given potential; 
• provides a centre of excellence where our pupils can learn to become proactive members of society. 

“Therefore learn as if to live forever; live as if to die tomorrow” 

St Edmund of Abingdon
