Here at St. Rose, we welcome all our children into a happy, secure, nurturing environment. We are proud of the reputation that the school has for its high standards of achievement and strong, caring community. We work together to ensure the school's vision for all our pupils to learn by experience and grow in confidence becomes a reality and that the children's time here at St. Rose will be remembered and cherished.
Our visions and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment that prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens. Until now schools have been required to ‘respect’ these values but as a result of changes brought in earlier in the year all schools must now have a clear strategy for embedding these values and show how their work with pupils has been effective in doing so.
This year, we aim to give every child a chance to experience a further ‘enriched’ curriculum: a chance to develop the skills taught in their classroom lessons into practical activities. We hope that, as well as engaging with the outdoor environment, the children will have practical experiences to develop things that they have learned in lessons like science, maths, design technology, and even develop communication and teamwork in the process. The national curriculum is a set of subjects and standards used by primary and secondary schools so children learn the same things. It covers what subjects are taught and the standards children should reach in each subject.
At Our Lady and St Rose Catholic Primary School, we are committed to providing an inclusive education for all children. This policy aims to ensure that this happens for all children regardless of their age, gender, ability, disability, social, cultural, and linguistic background. Each child at this school is valued as an individual and will be offered all the opportunities that we are available both academically and socially and where necessary enhanced provision including additional support will be provided. Our commitment to inclusion is at the heart of equal opportunities. We pay particular attention to the provision made for, and the achievement of different groups of learners. We aim to offer new opportunities to pupils who have experienced previous difficulties. We actively seek to remove barriers to learning and participation which hinder or excludes individual pupils, or groups of pupils.
