“Caritas Christi Urget Nos –

The love of Christ urges us to care for each other and strive for excellence in everything we do.”

A Round of Applause for the Young Scientists!

Well done to all the brilliant young minds who showcased their projects during Biology Week, you were the stars of the show! The children’s creativity, passion, and hard work were evident in every project presented. From dissecting frogs to exploring ecosystems, each project was a testament to your curiosity and dedication to the fascinating world of biology.

The children’s willingness to dive into the wonders of life and share their findings with their peers and parents with such enthusiasm left a lasting impact on everyone involved. We hope this experience has ignited a lifelong love for learning and a passion for exploring the mysteries of the natural world.

As Biology Week comes to an end, we want to extend our sincere thanks to all the parents for supporting their children’s projects and contributed to the success of the showcase. Let’s continue to nurture the wonder of biology in the hearts and minds of the next generation, fostering a love for learning that will undoubtedly shape the future.

Curriculum Intent

At St Vincent’s it is our INTENT is to enable ALL children to thrive through the opportunities we provide them with, in order to:

Curriculum Context

St Vincent’s is a 1.5 form entry school with 285 children ranging from 4 -11. Children come predominantly from the parishes of Sacred Heart in Mill Hill and St Anthony’s in Edgware.

Children come from a diverse range of socio-economic backgrounds, speak 17 different languages and hail from 26 different ethnic groups. The curriculum we present, and promote, to the children is an endeavour to reflect these differences by providing opportunities to explore the different countries, languages and customs our children are part of through the projects they investigate. We have looked closely at the context of our school, the backgrounds of the children and how life is for a child growing up in North London today. We have used the underlying principles of our Catholic Faith and the example of our namesake St Vincent to create a set of values which lie at the heart of our curriculum.

We are aware of the changing nature of society and the pressures faced by young children as they enter the next stage of their education. The rise in Mental Health related issues has been widely documented across the media. Therefore, issues such as internet safety and the enormous impact across society of social media are at the forefront of our minds when planning our curriculum. With the current worldwide concerns relating to Covid 19, racial justice, equality and diversity, as well as gender and economic background, we feel it is our duty to prepare the children through a concerted focus on building independence, resilience and communication skills linked to our Vincentian Values.
