Our Curriculum

At St Thomas of Canterbury School, there is a strong evidence base to the way our curriculum has been developed. We have carefully considered the importance of cognitive science to ensure children build on prior learning, with frequent recall opportunities, and so know more and remember more.

As a Catholic school, a minimum of 10% of the teaching timetable is dedicated to formal religious education. In reality, the Catholic teaching goes far beyond the 10% because the Christian values underpin every aspect of learning in our school. The children learn about faith and learn to live the faith. Throughout the school week, children are involved in daily acts of worship, liturgy and opportunities for deep, spiritual reflection.

We recently held an information event for parents, and the presentation from this is available below and Ms Dellow's maths presentation is available here.
