Curriculum Overview and by subject

The school has a well-structured and ambitious curriculum in place. All pupils learn across a wide range of subjects. Ofsted October 2024

We believe in the importance of cultural capital and ensuring that our curriculum fosters the three key aims of us as a church school of love, respect, and endeavour.  We are proud of our strong moral commitment and use the inclusive nature of Christianity as an inspiration. We believe in line with our vision that having a curriculum that is ambitious for all creates a Community fostering dignity by valuing every individual and their God-given uniqueness. We are committed to a curriculum that is holistic in its approach in order that we act justly, showing love and respect. Whilst planning our curriculum we reviewed each module of study in order that a clear commitment was given by teachers to ensure that we set out a road map that allowed pupils to thrive through growing resilience and living together gratefully with joy.

We believe that in order for every pupil to flourish that our distinct Christian ethos underpins throughout our curriculum. Whilst we invite all to celebrate with us as a proud church school we use our distinct Christian vision to drive our curriculum in a way that benefits all pupils, irrespective of their faith or absence of.

St Egwin’s is proud to offer all of our students a broad and balanced curriculum. We have made a conscious decision to maintain breadth across all subjects in Year 6 even though it is a SATS year. In their school experience pupils have 20 terms to prepare for their Key Stage 2 national tests, but only 2 of these are with us at St Egwin’s (see Ofsted Inspection handbook section 263), but despite this we are absolutely committed to the value of a wide-ranging curriculum that emphasises an equity of opportunity for all. In creating our curriculum and ambition we comply with their duties within the Equality Act 2010 and Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014.

We believe that pupils gain academically and socially by studying a broad and balanced curriculum as this is the best way to support pupils’ successful transition to high school. Data from GL assessments shows St Egwin’s pupils make good progress against starting points and GCSE analysis (Progress 8) from Prince Henry’s High School clearly shows that pupils from St Egwin’s achieve well above nationally expected progress. In the most recent Prince Henry’s data for Year 11, pupils who attended St Egwin’s were classified as ‘significantly above expected’ progress in every category.

We aim to ensure that pupils use their three years with us to secure academic, social, and extra-curricular knowledge that will enable them to succeed in the next stage of their education and beyond.
