At St William of York School, we offer a curriculum where we celebrate the diversity which people of different cultures bring to our school, which builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills of all children, whatever their starting points. The school's curriculum is based on a topic-led approach to learning. Children learn best when they are having fun, when learning is purposeful and meaningful, and when they can apply newly acquired skills into 'real life' situations. 

Our aim is to create a lifelong love of learning and offer cross-curricular opportunities so that pupils can make meaningful connections between subjects and develop as thinkers, creators and enquirers. We believe that in order for children to become successful learners, they need to experience a wide range of inspirational moments that will create a spark and inspire a quest to learn more. 

We aim to arrange curriculum events and workshops for parents each year, so that they feel able to support the children's learning. Please use the icons above to find out more about each area of the curriculum. Curriculum Class Maps for each year group can be found below. For more information, please speak to your child's class teacher.
