St Joseph's RC Primary School

                                                                         To know You more clearly

The Religious Education Curriculum Directory (3-19) for Catholic schools and colleges is designed to provide guidance for the RE classroom curriculum in Catholic schools.

'To know You more clearly' is the programme we deliver which allows children to explore the teachings of Christ and the Catholic church through the use of age-appropriate resources and activities.  Each year group have their own list of focus topics which will be covered throughout the academic year and will coincide with the church calendar. 

Teachers facilitate the opportunities for children to know God more clearly. 

Children will know God more clearly through the wonder of God's creation, the covenants he has with His people and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Jesuit Pupil Profile                     

St. Joseph's RC Primary School supports the development of the whole child through the adoption of the Jesuit Pupil Profile (as directed by the Archdiocese of Cardiff). The Pupil Profile is composed of 8 pairs of virtues that sum up what pupils (and staff) in our Catholic Schools should be living and how they should be learning, in keeping with our school mission ... " With Christ at the centre, Inspire, Believe and so Achieve."

The Jesuit tree of virtues is visible in every classroom and each half term, the children focus on a new pair of virtues. In their classes, the children and staff brainstorm what they believe are the actions and words of these virtues and record the collective thoughts of our children about what these virtues mean to them.
