Our Catholic Life at St Joseph the Worker Catholic Primary School

Religious Education at St Joseph the Worker Catholic Primary School

At St Joseph the Worker Catholic Primary School, we provide our pupils with a rich, varied and balanced curriculum in a safe, caring and nurturing environment which is underpinned by our Mission Statement:

‘A loving Christian family, striving to achieve excellence’

Our RE curriculum gives children the opportunity to develop spiritually, morally, socially and culturally and to celebrate and rejoice in their faith and experiences.

Every child is recognised as an individual with their own strengths, interests and talents. We celebrate and welcome uniqueness and diversity and show respect for ourselves and others.

Through our broad curriculum, we build character by creating opportunities for children to try new things, problem solve and develop resilience through varied, challenging learning opportunities where they can experience first-hand the joy of discovery. Children are encouraged to listen to others and to be critical, creative thinkers. We celebrate local traditions, learning and developing new skills to enable the children to take an active role in events throughout the year whilst developing a sense of belonging to their community. We develop a clear understanding of our environmental responsibility and the need to preserve the precious world we live in. Through our curriculum, we create a happy, enjoyable learning culture where children develop a love of learning, a thirst for knowledge and are equipped with the skills to become lifelong learners.
