Our Curriculum
Pedagogical Principles
At St Barnabas we will:
- Promote confidence, self-belief and nurture social and emotional growth enabling all children to be included and achieve their aspirations.
- Teach the skills of independence, creativity, problem solving and emotional regulation through an ambitious and inspiring curriculum.
- Seek to overcome barriers, celebrate difference and purposefully engage with the community.
- Build strong, trusting and positive relationships while being role models for our values.
