Corpus Christi Catholic School

As a parent, you will probably have many questions about your child’s life at school. This website aims to answer these questions and give you additional useful information. Developed with the help of parents, it should provide all the information you require. Should you require paper copies of any of the information contained here please request it from the school office.

Our whole school community - children, parents, staff and governors - is justifiably very proud of our school and its successes. These successes are evident both in the academic standards achieved and in the excellent curriculum on offer to the children.

We aim to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment in which each child can thrive and develop their own interests and talents. Active participation from families in this process is essential, which is why we place such an emphasis on working in partnership with parents and carers. Your comments and feedback on this website would be welcome. To keep up to date with what we do on a day to day basis please follow us on instagram @corpus_christi_brixton

At Corpus Christi School our first priority is to our children, so that they receive a high quality education where enjoyment and enrichment are at the core of their learning experience. We aim to ensure that they have a love of learning for life as well as helping them to grow into confident and well-rounded individuals.

Our values and ethos have been devised by the whole school community, including staff, governors, parents and children, and are based on the idea of the school community being part of a FAMILY (faith, aspiration, motivation, independence, love, you are unique). These key values reflect those elements special to a Corpus Christi child.

At Corpus Christi we deliver a broad and balanced curriculum, which is based around a variety of topics throughout the academic year. All foundation subjects are taught around a specific theme, which is in line with the National Curriculum; links are continually made to the core subjects.

“The curriculum is exceptional because it provides captivating and exciting learning opportunities which engage and motivate pupils. Links between subjects support pupils’ wider understanding and creative links are made across topics.”

As a school, we continually review our provision and respond to local and national events, enabling the children to gain a greater understanding of the wider world. Most recently, the children have explored, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the Centenary of World War I and the Olympics.

As a school, we believe the children respond well to our topic based approach. They are provided with opportunities to raise questions, which encourages them to become inquisitive learners. Our rich and vibrant curriculum promotes a love of learning.
