SCHOOL CURRICULUM INTENT
Staff and governors at St Aidan’s Catholic Primary Academy believe the development of pupils, spiritually, morally and socially plays a significant part in their ability to learn and achieve. We aim to provide an education that provides children with opportunities to explore and develop their own values and beliefs, spiritual awareness, high standards of behaviour, a positive caring attitude towards others and an appreciation of the diversity of our school. This is embedded throughout all aspects of school life through the use of our values such as love, respect, unity, friendship, honesty, kindness, tolerance, patience, appreciation, courage, trust and understanding.
