As illustrated on the curriculum poster in our curriculum rationale document and displayed throughout the school, OLGA Cathedral Primary School views the curriculum as an ongoing learning journey. Our curriculum should capture our young learners’ interests, engage their emotions as well as their brains and encourage them down new paths where each turn in the road reveals something new and exciting to discover. Learning is often unpredictable and we encourage our pupils to recognise that it requires effort, commitment and self-direction. Our ultimate goal is for all OLGA Cathedral Primary pupils to grow into lifelong learners.
All OLGA Cathedral Primary School pupils are entitled to:
- an exciting, engaging and highly relevant Broad General Education which includes all Curriculum for Excellence Experiences & Outcomes
across all curricular areas; - benefit from the various Cathedral ‘Essential Experiences’ outlined in our Curriculum Overview;
- high quality learning and teaching and access to the very best resources across all curricular areas;
- smooth and well-paced progression through all areas of the curriculum;
- experience both challenge and success and be given the right sort of support on their learning journey;
- develop transferable life skills so that they are equipped with the skills necessary to flourish in their future lives and careers;
- explore, develop and grow in their Catholic faith (or, for non-Catholic pupils, be affirmed in their own faith or values);
- support to adopt a healthy lifestyle so that they are safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included;
- support to develop well-informed views and a strong sense of responsibility for themselves and others
