Curriculum Intent Statement

“Belonging, Serving, Succeeding"

At Banks St. Stephen’s, we believe every child is a precious individual, made in God’s image. From Nursery to Year 6, we provide a nurturing, inclusive environment where all children feel they belong, are encouraged to serve others and are supported to succeed in all areas of life.

Our carefully planned, knowledge-rich curriculum is built around the unique needs of our children and the community of Banks and its surrounding areas. It supports children’s spiritual, emotional and academic development, helping them grow in confidence, curiosity and resilience. Children are taught key knowledge and skills in ways that help them remember and build on their learning over time.

We celebrate the awe and wonder of the world, encourage a love of learning and offer a wide range of experiences—including trips, visitors and outdoor learning—to bring the curriculum to life.

Christian values such as compassion, friendship and endurance are at the heart of everything we do, alongside the British values of tolerance, democracy, rule of law and individual liberty. Our curriculum helps children understand themselves, others and the wider world so they are well prepared for life ahead. We want all our pupils to leave us feeling confident, compassionate and ready to make a positive difference.
