At St Cecilia's we follow the National Curriculum, including the National Literacy and Numeracy Schemes.

Details of the Curriculum Map for each year group are held here, and more general information on the teaching of different subjects is here; including details of our  Special Needs Provision.

Details of staffing and governors is to be found here.

Homework Policy

Homework is an essential complement to the work undertaken in the classroom. The objectives of homework include practising skills and involving parents with their child's learning. Establishing a good practice and habit of homework prepares the children for high school and their adult life.

We inform parents of their child's homework timetable at the beginning of each school year.

Parent Teacher Consultation

Careful records are kept of children's progress and behaviour. Targets are set in English and Mathematics. These form the basis of consultations between teachers and parents at scheduled meetings each term. Parents receive a full written report mid year in February and a follow up report in July.

Discipline and School Rules

The general maxim of respect for yourself and respect for others is part of Our Mission. Training without too many rules, encouraging self-discipline and care and consideration for others are paramount. This implies good manners and respect for authority.

We believe that the most effective discipline measure is to marginalize bad behaviour by promoting good behaviour. Accordingly, at St Cecilia's staff recognise and praise good behaviour and encourage positive attitudes. We aim to ensure that children understand that it is their bad actions we are trying to change and that children are always valued for themselves.
