Cultural Capital
CULTURAL CAPITAL
At the Convent of Jesus and Mary Catholic Infant School & Nursery our curriculum is designed to instill in all our pupils' high aspirations and to encourage them to become resilient, lifelong learners who embrace challenges, flourish and become well-rounded, conscientious, curious global citizens, who embrace their role as ‘Stewards of the Earth’ by caring and taking responsibility for our common home – the world.
Our pupils are cherished and valued for who they are. Our Catholic ethos, Gospel values, inspiring curriculum and unique setting offer our children a range of experiences that enrich their lives and prepares them to succeed in our ever-changing world.
We do this by…
