Our whole school community - children, parents, staff, and governors - is justifiably very proud of our school and its successes. These successes are evident both in the academic standards achieved and in the excellent curriculum on offer to the children. We aim to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment in which each child can thrive and develop their interests and talents. Parents' active participation in this process is essential and that is why we place such an important emphasis on working in partnership with parents. At Corpus Christi School our priority is to our children so that they receive a high-quality education where enjoyment and enrichment are at the core of their learning experience. We aim to ensure that they have a love of learning for life as well as helping them to grow into confident and well-rounded individuals. Our values and ethos have been devised by the whole school community, including staff, governors, parents, and children, and are based on the idea of the school community being part of a FAMILY (faith, aspiration, motivation, independence, love, you are unique). These key values reflect those elements special to a Corpus Christi child. Corpus Christi School exists to serve the Catholic communities of Brixton Hill and its neighboring parishes. We are here to educate our children to the highest possible standard in a community that has the gospel values, traditions, and beliefs of the Catholic Faith at the center of its ethos. In all aspects of the school, Christian values will be upheld, with an emphasis on respect, helpfulness, unselfishness, and co-operation. At Corpus Christi, we deliver a broad and balanced curriculum, which is based on a variety of topics throughout the academic year. All foundation subjects are taught around a specific theme, which is in line with the National Curriculum links are continually made to the core subjects. As a school, we continually review our provision and respond to local and national events, enabling the children to gain a greater understanding of the wider world. Most recently, the children have explored, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the Centenary of World War I, and the Olympics. As a school, we believe the children respond well to our topic-based approach. They are provided with opportunities to raise questions, which encourages them to become inquisitive learners. Our rich and vibrant curriculum promotes a love of learning. Children with special educational needs are supported and extended first and foremost by their class teacher. There is also a team of specialist staff at the school including the SENCO, an autism specialist, a literacy support teacher, and a speech and language therapist who support children. The school also has many highly trained TAs and LSAs in the fields of autism, occupational therapy, and dyslexia. Ongoing CPD is part of the special needs program at Corpus Christi, for staff and parents of children with special needs. The school also has links with a local autism center and buys in support and advice from an educational psychologist. View full school

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. View full school
