Our Learning

Statement of Intent

At The Oratory RC. Primary and Nursery School, our curriculum is designed to enable all children to “Shine as to be Light to Others”, inspiring them to grow in faith, knowledge, and service. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, our curriculum nurtures the whole child—academically, spiritually, and morally—so that they may become compassionate, resilient, and responsible global citizens.

Our curriculum is driven by four key principles:

• Transformed in Faith – We provide a Christ-centered education that deepens children’s faith, instilling in them a sense of purpose and commitment to serving others. Through scripture, prayer, and reflection, we empower children to live out Gospel values in their daily lives.

• Inspired with Resilience – We cultivate a culture of perseverance, where challenges are embraced as opportunities for growth. Rooted in human dignity and solidarity, our curriculum encourages children to overcome obstacles with courage and determination, preparing them for lifelong learning.

• Motivated through Challenge – High expectations and an engaging, ambitious curriculum ensure that every child achieves their God-given potential. We inspire a love of learning through meaningful, real-world experiences that develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.

• Empowered through Possibilities – Every child is valued as a unique individual with limitless potential. Our curriculum opens doors to new opportunities, broadens horizons, and encourages children to dream big, ensuring that they leave our school with confidence, aspirations, and a deep sense of social responsibility.

Through our curriculum, children are formed in faith, strengthened in resilience, challenged to grow, and empowered to lead—becoming beacons of light in their communities and beyond.
