RE Curriculum
At Endsleigh, we follow ‘Come and See’, which is a Catholic Primary Religious Education programme for Foundation and Key Stages 1 and 2. This is based on the theological foundations of the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Catechism and the revised RE Curriculum Directory and includes the Catholic attainment levels.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church addresses the search for meaning in life: God’s initiative in Revelation who comes to meet us and our response of faith. This pattern guides the structure of the programme and informs the process of each topic, opened up through; Explore, Reveal and Respond.
The children are led through the programme with the use of the ‘driver words’: ‘recognise’, ‘recall’, ‘making links’ and ‘showing understanding’. They are assessed according to the levels of attainment in RE developed by the Bishops’ Council.
Each new topic in RE involves a ‘Big Question’ which helps to develop thinking and understanding through a process of discussion. Examples include; ‘What does it mean to belong?’, ‘Why should we spread Good News?’ and ‘How can we work together to build a just and fair world?’. Throughout each topic the children are encouraged to refer to these questions as a basis for deeper thinking and discussion.
As RE is at the core of every aspect of our lives in and out of school, it is given an extremely high profile around the school, with sacred spaces in each classroom and other prominent areas, allowing a place for reflection and prayer. The children are encouraged to take responsibility for these areas, taking pride in nurturing their own spiritual development, under the guidance of all the adults and older members of the school.
Maths programmes of study: KS 1 and 2
At Endsleigh we aim to create an exciting and stimulating curriculum which allows the children to fulfil their potential in Maths. We want maths to be an engaging and interesting area of the children’s lives. We organise our lessons into three areas; calculations, reasoning and problem solving. The children are not limited to beginning their work on calculations; if they have shown the ability, they may begin with reasoning or problem solving. This is an aspirational scheme and children have shown us since its introduction that they are ready and able to meet this challenge.
Everything we do in maths prepares us for later life. We work in a variety of contexts using different methods to help us achieve our goals.
All of our lessons in maths a based on the Primary National Curriculum for Maths which can be found here;

Reading and Phonics
The importance of reading and phonics at Endsleigh Holy Child
Reading plays a vital role in the development and education of your child. At Endsleigh Holy Child we ensure that pupils have lots of opportunities to read in lots of different contexts. We continually strive to promote a love of reading.
Phonics
In Key Stage One we deliver a consistent approach to phonics using a programme called Read, Write Inc. Every pupil in Foundation Stage and Key Stage One works through the programme to help them decode (sound out) words that they read. Reading is linked into understanding what they have read. Using small group work on a daily basis allows staff to pin point any individual who may need additional support in this area and will plan intervention activities if needed.
Reading schemes
Pupils read through a set of book banded books. Each colour in the book band is a different level. We provide a wide range of books at different levels within a book band. The pupils know which book band they are working at and recognise the book band that they are working towards.

Early Years
There are seven areas of learning and development that shape our education in the early years. All areas of learning and development are important and inter-connected. The prime areas of learning are crucial for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, for building their capacity to learn, form relationships and thrive. The children’s learning in these three areas are then strengthened and applied in the four specific areas.
Please look below for further information about the seven areas of learning and development.
Communication and language | Physical development | Personal, social and emotional development | Literacy | Mathematics | Understanding the world | Expressive arts and design |

The Endsleigh Curriculum
Phonics/Reading Scheme
Religious Education
Personal, social, health and economic education
Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education is an important and necessary part of all pupils’ education. PSHE is a non-statutory subject and can encompass many areas of study.
We use our PSHE education programme to equip pupils with a sound understanding of risk and with the knowledge and skills necessary to make safe and informed decisions.
We seek to use PSHE education to build, where appropriate, on the statutory content already outlined in the national curriculum, the basic school curriculum and in statutory guidance on: drug education, financial education, sex and relationship education (SRE) and the importance of physical activity and diet for a healthy lifestyle.
Our curriculum aims to cover four main objectives, which we consider to be key to enabling our pupils to leave our school able to live as responsible member of British society.
These aims are:
- To engage
- To be motivated
- To always think
- To be an active global citizen
Find out about our phonics and reading curriculum
At Endsleigh Holy Child we support the teaching of phonics through Read Write Inc. (RWI).
RWI is a sythentic phonics based programme. Synthentic phonics is the ability to convert a letter group into a sound that are then blended together to make words.
Phonics information sessions are run during the school year to enable parents and carers to understand how we teach phonics and to provide strategies for helping their child with reading at home.
If you require any further information about how we teach phonics, please speak to your child’s class teacher in the first instance.
Find out about our religious education curriculum
R.E. is a core subject and is at the centre of all that we do in school. As a Roman Catholic school, the teaching follows the scheme ‘Come and See’, which allows the children to experience religious education through a variety of interesting and challenging activities. They begin to understand not only what Christians do, but why they do it. Each term, the topics follow a clear format, according to the liturgical year.
In the Autumn term, the focus is on an individual’s relationship with God and their place in His family. Therefore, the overriding theme is the Domestic Church or Ecclesia Domestica. As the term progresses, we shall study Baptism and Confirmation, before looking at another faith – Judaism and then finally moving on to Advent for the final topic.
In Spring, we move on to thinking about the Local Church – our place as part of the wider school community, then the Eucharist; the gift of sharing in the body and blood of Jesus and finally, Lent and Easter, when we examine our consciences, thinking of how we can give ourselves as part of the preparation for the celebration of the sacrifice of Jesus.
In the Summer term, we think more globally, as we study the Universal Church and our place as part of the whole world. This is a very exciting time as there is Pentecost, when we think about the Holy Spirit coming upon the disciples. We also spend time discussing our relationships with others and how to reconcile with them. This is an integral part of the school’s ethos and a crucial life skill. The last topic of the year links in beautifully with the Endsleigh curriculum, as it focuses on global justice – how God’s wonderful world belongs to us all and we should work to ensure that everyone receives an equal opportunity for a long, healthy and happy life as part of the human family.
All topics open with a ‘Big Question’ which encourages the children to explore their understanding and creates an atmosphere of enquiry. Scripture, Liturgy, prayers , art and other religious sources are used throughout the year to illustrate the all-encompassing nature of the subject; the cornerstone of Endsleigh.
