Can and should a Church school offer a curriculum that is distinctive from that of secular schools? What kind of vision and value system lies at the heart of the Church school? This section explores the curriculum's core and foundation subjects and offers a Christian perspective.
Christian
commentary
A Church school can offer a clear understanding of the
way in which Christian values can be reflected within the
whole curriculum of the school. This can be seen in the
many facets of life in a Church school.
Core
curriculum

concerned with the whole of life, how does this
necessarily influence the core curriculum in schools?
Foundation
subjects
If to be a Christian is to present faith as being
concerned with the whole of life, how does this
necessarily influence the foundation curriculum in
schools?
Visits
Educational visits to places of worship are likely to be
of great importance in Church schools. Similarly,
offering hospitality to visitors from faith communities.
Guidelines are offered in this section to ensure the
smooth running of these events.
