Our curriculum has been designed taking into consideration the Religious Education Curriculum and Development Matters. The children are taught three topics per term which are related to the RE Curriculum topics. The topics are taught through a range of teaching strategies such as whole-class teaching, objective-led planning, group work and intensive intervention such as 'Little Wandle' and 'Welcomm'. It is our intention to ensure children moving through to Key Stage One are school ready. ### Early Years Curriculum Early Years Curriculum 61 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundscatholicprimaryschool/files/documents/EYFS_Curriculum_Plan_24-25.docx) ### Curriculum - [Curriculum Intent and Overview](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum) - [Our EYFS Curriculum](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/our-early-years-curriculum) - [St Edmund's Curriculum](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/curriculum) - [Reading at St. Edmund's](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/reading-at-st-edmund-s) - [PSHE & RSE](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/pshe) - [English](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/english) - [Mathematics](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/maths) - [Science](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/science) - [Computing](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/ict) - [History](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/history) - [Geography](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/geography) - [Art & Design](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/art-and-design) - [Design and Technology](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/design-and-technology) - [Physical Education](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/pe) - [Music](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/music) - [MFL](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/french) - [Outdoor Learning](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/outdoor-learning) - [The St. Edmund's Way](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/curriculum/behaviour-curriculum) ### Facebook > [St Edmunds Catholic Primary School](https://www.facebook.com/StEdmundsCatholicPrimarySchool) - [![Little Wandle Phonics Program](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundscatholicprimaryschool/images/menu/LW-LS-Accredited_Logo_VERT.png)](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/) - [![Thrive Approach](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundscatholicprimaryschool/images/menu/Thrive_School_Badge.png)](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/) - [![Bronze Sports Award 2025/26](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundscatholicprimaryschool/images/menu/SG_Awards_2026_Bronze_Gif_Square.gif)](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/) - [![SHARES Lancashire](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundscatholicprimaryschool/images/menu/Shares_Lancashire_New_1.png)](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/) - [![SHARES Swimming](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundscatholicprimaryschool/images/menu/SHARES_Swimming_New_copy.jpg)](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/) - [![Asthma Friendly School](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundscatholicprimaryschool/images/menu/Asthma_Friednly_Sticker.jpg)](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/) - [![Step into Quality EYFS](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundscatholicprimaryschool/images/menu/7836_Step_into_Quality_2025.jpg)](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/) - [![Live Simply](https://files.schudio.com/stedmundscatholicprimaryschool/images/menu/CAFOD-Well-done-on-achieving-LiveSimply_1080x1080.gif)](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/) ### Contact Us **St Edmund's Catholic Primary School** Windrows New Church Farm Skelmersdale Lancashire WN8 8NP Tel: (01695) 724798 Fax: (01695) 724798 - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/StEdmundsCatholicPrimarySchool) - [X](https://twitter.com/SchoolStEdmunds) © Copyright 2015–2026 St Edmund's Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
