How will the curriculum be matched to my child’s needs?

At St John’s, it is our duty as a Catholic school to recognise that all of our children are unique and should be treated equally. They have a divine origin and an eternal destiny. Our faith and our mission demand living out the Gospel values of equality, honesty, support and co-operation with each other. All have access to the curriculum however, we understand that for some children, reasonable adjustments and extra support is required if they are to do this.

Learning is planned with your child at the centre following a series of assessments so that the learning is aimed at an appropriate level with the correct amount of challenge. (Assess, Plan, Do, Review)
