Here at St Anne’s and Guardian Angels School, all pupils receive a curriculum that is engaging, relevant to their lives and meets the requirements of the EYFS and National Curriculum. Our curriculum prepares learners for the next stage of their education and for life in the modern world, whilst developing their curiosity and creativity at the same time. In addition to a broad and enriching curriculum, pupils are given opportunities to develop their social and cultural capital – that is that all pupils are given opportunities to experience places and events that they may not ordinarily have access to.

This enrichment offer is woven into our long term planned curriculum and incudes, but is not limited to those experiences specified here which are offered when resources and opportunities allow. These experiences allow for:

• Local area experiences
• Experiencing the natural environment
• Performance, sport and cultural experiences
• Purposeful enterprise activities
• An appreciation of diversity and celebration of difference
• Finding out about future education and different careers
• Learning basic life skills
