From the St Mary's RC Junior School
At St. Mary's Catholic Federation in Carshalton, it is our goal to give every child the knowledge and abilities they need to advance toward becoming mature Catholic Christians.
Our goal is to foster in our kids an appreciation of their own worth and significance as people, to foster their spiritual development, and to foster their social growth so that they can learn to give and share as well as to receive.
By utilising "Come and See" and other tools, we hope to give each child a moral compass based on the wisdom and truth of the Gospel.
Learn several ways to record information and findings and how to gather information from a variety of sources.
Recognize how mathematical concepts can be applied in a variety of settings in the family, classroom, school, and neighbourhood.
Encourage individual observation, expression, and response within the context of the child's experience, as well as the development of awareness and comprehension of the natural and physical world.
During their early schooling, children's ICT abilities should be developed alongside their basic skills.
