OUR CURRICULUM INTENT
At St Richard's CE Primary School we aim to foster a life-long love of learning through memorable, inspiring and engaging lessons. We have designed a bespoke curriculum that not only ensures that the children receive a broad and balanced curriculum but is also relevant to the children's interests and gives them not just the knowledge but the skills and understanding to become well-rounded and successful citizens.
At St Richard's we celebrate all subjects and provide the children opportunities to excel in all areas and passionately believe that a rich diet of learning experiences not only improves a child's cultural capital but also makes the learning purposeful and motivating. We are passionate that all children feel successful and have the opportunity to be successful.

SEND AND ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
St Richard’s CE Primary School aims to be an inclusive school which responds successfully to the needs of the diverse community we serve. St Richard's school works closely with pupils, families and relevant outside agencies to ensure that potential barriers to learning are reduced or minimised and allows them to learn, achieve and participate fully in school life. We make reasonable adjustments to enable all children to access the curriculum.
