Curriculum Overview
At St Anne’s School we offer an exciting, deep, rich, challenging and experiential curriculum which inspires learning, identifies talents, promotes achievement and celebrates personal achievement.
Our curriculum is designed to ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive and flourish. Teachers make learning experiences challenging and inspiring; nurturing a lifelong love of learning. We aspire for every child to be a confident, responsible, successful, innovative and independent learner. Our school focuses on success for all, delivering an education that equips everyone with the tools to enter the world, ready to make a difference and leave their legacy.
Our curriculum offer ensures that all our children become engaged, active and responsible citizens who recognise and value their contribution to British society and its institutions and that they gain a perspective of themselves as both local and global citizens.
We endeavour to fulfil the potential of every child academically, socially, morally, spiritually and culturally in order to prepare them for the next stage of their education and their life beyond school and help them to look after their own mental health and well-being.
Religious Education is at the core of everything we do and we plan our curriculum so that we can take every opportunity to view, with awe, the wonders of all elements of God's world.
Our curriculum has been designed around the requirements of the National Curriculum and the needs of our children. We work with lots of external partners and are influenced by educational research. We also model what we say to the children about continuous self-improvement and work closely with Manchester University on evaluating the impact of our work.

Subject leaders, alongside the Senior Leadership Team (including the Curriculum Lead Mrs Clegg), play an important part in the success of the curriculum through a regular programme of monitoring, evaluation and review. Through this rigorous practice we adapt the curriculum, when needed to the needs and interests of the learners ensuring the inclusive nature of the school is maintained. The impact of this ever-evolving curriculum enables all young people to have confidence take risks with their learning and succeed despite the challenges they may face. Subject leaders then revise these plans if required to ensure the children at St Anne's are receiving a broad and balanced curriculum that is innovative and creative.
By instilling lifelong learning, resilience and innovation we secure a creative, successful and fulfilling future journey through life for all.
Any questions you have about the curriculum can be addressed by class teachers or Mrs Clegg, the curriculum lead.
