Enquiry Based Concepts
Our curriculum is underpinned by our core enquiry-based themes, which directly links to a strand of our vision. This year (2023/2024) our focus strand is ‘We will safely lead you to a fulfilling future. Through this stand, we have chosen to reflect up the climate crisis affecting the planet. In order to embed this, we have chose the enquiry statement of, ‘We need to care for the living world around us!’ Without a clean and healthy planet, we believe our children’s future will be impacted. The rationale behind this concept is, highlighted below. In order to enhance our commitment to this, our class names have been chosen to reflect to the different biomes of the Earth. Through this change, as a school, we will learn from each other about the Earth and it’s habitats from each other.
Rationale of our Enquiry Concept: We need to care for the living world around us!
We will look into the roles and responsibilities we share to look after our common home, the Earth. We will seek to understand relationships between communities, cultures and how we can work together to ensure the planet is a clean, peaceful and sustainable place. We will seek to establish how, by embracing our role as stewards of the Earth, we can have a fulfilled future.We will look into the roles and responsibilities we share to look after our common home, the Earth.

Curriculum Maps
At St. Mark’s we have curated a bespoke curriculum, which reflects the community we teach. We uphold the belief that our children have the right to learn from a curriculum which both engages and excites them. We have worked hard to ensure that the our children’s learning journey is weaved through the academic year with a robust purpose. All of our subjects have een planned with the rationale of ensuring retention is maintained and that the learning in one area, can be transferred to another area. We believe that through multi faceted learning, our children will make the best progress in all area of their school life.
Links to the curriculum maps will be added very soon.
