Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School opened its doors to the local children in our parish on the 1st October 1934. The school, whilst delivering the statutory content of the National Curriculum, plans a thematic approach to learning and many of the topics change regularly to excite and stimulate the children. A skills-based approach is followed to ensure that the children make progress with their learning as they move through the school.

At Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School we always strive to provide quality experiences of prayer and liturgy that support pupils’ spiritual and personal development. These communal acts of prayer and the liturgical celebrations of the Church form part of everyday life in our school. They are essential to our wonderful school ethos. Every child in our school is allowed to pray by giving praise and thanks to God using traditional prayers of the Catholic Church and many other sources of prayer that enable this to take place.
It is thus our aim at Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School to provide our children with numerous faith opportunities to experience a variety of forms of daily prayer that help each individual in the school community foster their relationship with God. As mentioned before, we aim for our pupils to be the best faith models they can be.
Part of our school ethos and behavior policy has revolved around Core Values such as ‘Respect’, and pupils have been part of discussions and assemblies related to what this means and how it is shown. Posters around the school promote respect for others and this is reiterated through our classroom and learning rules, as well as our behavior policy and mission statement.
Within school, pupils are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As a school, we educate and provide boundaries for young pupils to make choices safely, through the provision of a safe environment and empowering education. Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and advise how to exercise these safely, for example through our E-Safety and PSHE lessons. Whether it be through choice of challenge, of how they record, or participation in our numerous extra-curricular clubs and opportunities, pupils are given the freedom to make choices.
We offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities with the aims of developing skills and confidence. We provide different and interesting activities such as Zumba and Cheerleading. Sports clubs are only a part of the enrichment activities that we offer. We also aim to provide additional nonsporting clubs such as Art Club, Eco Club, Code Club, and a Gifted and Talented Club - Aquila, to ensure inclusion and enjoyment for all children. Corpus Christi Extra-Curricular includes a wide range of stimulating and interesting activities that all children have access to.
