Curriculum

The National Curriculum is set by the government so that children across the country learn the same things during their time at school. It covers what subjects are taught and the standards children should reach in each subject.

The National Curriculum is split into ‘Key Stages’ (KS). At the end of each Key Stage, your child will be assessed to measure their performance and progress.

St Mary Immaculate follows the National Curriculum as defined by the Department of Education. Information about the different programmes of study and attainment targets for all Key Stage 1 and 2 subjects can be found by clicking on the link below:

The National Curriculum sets out only the essential knowledge that all children should acquire, and gives schools more freedom to decide how to teach this most effectively and to design a wider school curriculum that best meets the specific needs of their pupils.
