The Curriculum

‘Achieving great things through learning and growing together in a love-filled Christian family’
‘That they shall have life, life in all its fullness’ John 10:10

Our overarching aim at St Barnabas is for our pupils to achieve great things and live life in all its fullness. Offering a well-rounded and balanced curriculum is one way we work towards achieving this. At St Barnabas we want our children to have the opportunity to experience an ambitious, broad and balanced curriculum. Our subject leaders are very passionate about their subjects and have worked hard to develop an exciting and engaging curriculum to suit the needs of the children in our St Barnabas school family.

Please see our year group curriculum overviews, class pages and individual curriculum pages for further information.
