At St Mary's, we are committed to providing a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum that inspires our children, develops a lifelong love of learning and enables every pupil to achieve their full potential.

Our Intent, Implementation and Impact Documents have been produced by our subject leaders and explain how each area of our curriculum is carefully planned, taught and evaluated.

• Intent – What do we want our children to learn? This explains the knowledge, skills and understanding we want pupils to develop, and the purpose and ambition behind our curriculum in each subject.
• Implementation – How do we teach our curriculum? This outlines how learning is organised, sequenced and delivered, including the teaching approaches, resources and opportunities we use to ensure that children build upon their prior learning.
• Impact – How do we know children are learning and making progress? This explains how we assess pupils' understanding, identify what they know and remember, and evaluate how effectively they can apply their learning.

Together, these documents demonstrate how our curriculum is designed to provide clear progression in knowledge and skills, promote curiosity and independence, and offer meaningful opportunities for all children to succeed.

We hope these documents provide parents and carers with a valuable insight into the thinking, planning and teaching that underpin our curriculum and how we seek to nurture every child to be the best they can be, enabling them to 'Let their light shine… as they grow'.
