Welcome to our school. Our school is in the heart of Liverpool city centre and we welcome children from all over the world into our learning community. Being at the centre of the university campuses, we are the perfect choice for parents.
Our children can start in Bluebirds Nursery from birth and can stay with us until they’ve turned 11. While your children are with us we offer them a wealth of opportunities to enrich their learning including regular visitors to the school and trips to local places of interest. We also try to offer opportunities for residential activities. We educate the whole child and will work with you to ensure that your child reach their full potential. We collaborate with parents and other agencies to ensure that every child receives individualised attention and we closely monitor progress to identify swiftly any barriers to learning; such as Special Educational Needs (SEN), English as an additional language (EAL) or high attainment.
St Nicholas Catholic Primary school is “striving to be an inspiring and aspirational learning community following the example of Jesus”. Our Catholic School aims to create and sustain a community which follows in Jesus’ teaching and live by his example.
We aim to meet the needs of each individual by providing a holistic, inclusive and creative educationl. This can be seen through our: A broad and balanced curriculum. Extra-curricular opportunities. Utilising the local environment. Meeting the needs of all learning styles. Developing independence in thoughts, action and learning. Assessment and monitoring. Celebrating success and achievement. Communication with Parents.
The curriculum at St Nicholas Catholic Primary School is the planned activities that we organise in order to promote learning, personal growth and development. It includes not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, but also the various extra-curricular activities that the school organises in order to enrich children’s experience. It also includes the ‘hidden curriculum’ – what the children learn from the way they are treated and expected to behave. We want children to grow into positive, responsible people, who can work and cooperate with others while at the same time developing their knowledge and skills, in order to be ‘secondary_ready’
At St Nicholas Catholic Primary School our goal is to create situations where children love learning, seek challenges, value effort and persist in the face of difficulty.
The aims of our curriculum therefore are: To provide fun and engaging challenges for all. To equip children with the skills to solve problems. To ensure there is a ‘wow’ factor with a ‘hook and grab’. To provide real, hands on experiences with maximum opportunity for outdoor learning. To lead to a high quality ‘product’ that can be shared with others.
Our school curriculum is underpinned by the values that are important at St Nicholas Catholic Primary School. The curriculum is the means by which the school achieves its objective of educating children in the knowledge, skills and understanding that they need in order to lead fulfilling lives.
We value children’s uniqueness, we listen to the views of individual children, and we promote respect for diverse cultures. We value the spiritual and moral development of each child, as well as their intellectual and physical growth. We value the importance of each child in our community, and we organise our curriculum to promote inclusion, cooperation and understanding among all members of our community. We value the rights enjoyed by each person in our society. We respect each child in our school for who they are, and we treat them with fairness and honesty. We want to enable each person to be successful, and we provide equal opportunities for all our pupils.
Programmes of Study in English, maths and science inform curriculum planning in these subject areas. Other areas of our curriculum are organised around the concept of Prime Learning Challenges expressed as a question. History, Geography and Science are our main curriculum drivers for the other subjects.
The curriculum that we teach in the reception classes meets the requirements set out in EYFS Statutory Framework 2014. Our curriculum planning focuses on the Early Learning Goals, and on developing children’s skills and experiences.
The school aims based on the Mission Statement.
We aim to follow in Jesus’ teaching and live by his example
