The Curriculum at St Giles

Curriculum Intent

Overall, the intent of our curriculum is to ensure high standards in all subjects, especially Reading, broaden children’s knowledge across all subject disciplines, and provide strong support for Social and Emotional Mental Health in our more vulnerable pupils. We also aim, through curriculum design and pedagogy, to increase children’s independence and resilience,  and seek further ways to embrace and celebrate diversity.
