Recovery Curriculum

Mindful of the impact that COVID-19 may have had on the children, especially with periods of school disruption, we designed and implemented a Recovery Curriculum.

Aims

Our Recovery Curriculum at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School will enable our children to continue to develop their emotional resilience; developing their self-regulation and learning how to learn in a school environment once again. Our school Vision Statement of Excellence, underpinned by our values of Worship, Opportunity, Resilience, Knowledge, Enjoyment and Respect will continue to be threaded through all we do.

Our School plan is organised into three different strands: PASTORAL CARE, ROUTINES AND EXPECTATIONS, TAILORED CURRICULUM, with each strand being implemented in a tiered approach – HOLISTIC RECOVERY, FOCUSSED RECOVERY, DEEP RECOVERY

While each strand has been mapped out as an individual area, there will be cross over, overlap, links and continued movement through and back the different strands and tiers.

PASTORAL CARE

A focus on the child’s wellbeing, mental health and the emotional impact of the pandemic and period of absence.

ROUTINES AND EXPECTATIONS

Planned opportunities to explicitly re-teach the routines and procedures in school that are there to keep them safe, as well as the social and school specific expectations of conduct, relationships and behaviours lost during the period of school closure.

TAILORED CURRICULUM

Reviewing and Amending the curriculum offer so that any negative impact on attainment and progress, as well as attitudes to learning and learning behaviours can be negated as soon as possible.

• Holistic Recovery – For all

• Focussed Recovery – A personalised needs led approach

• Deep Recovery – For those needing a longer period of exploration of the trauma
