Golden Threads are the key themes, values and skills that run throughout the curriculum across all year groups. In our school, these threads reflect our Catholic ethos and Catholic Social Teaching, supporting pupils’ academic development while encouraging them to make links between their learning, the wider world and their responsibilities as compassionate and thoughtful citizens.

Bookflix is our reading incentive and is linked to rewards through achievement points and other prizes when children read specific numbers of books.
Bookflix displays are in every classroom, which gives teachers the opportunity to recommend books to read around each subject. Children should see which books are trending and newly added, just like the home screen on Netflix!
Here is the list of the current Bookflix books for the department:
The Game of Our Lives: The Meaning and Making of English Football David Goldblatt
A Woman’s Game: The Rise Fall and Rise Again of Women’s Football Suzy Wrack
Land of Second Chances: The Impossible Rise of Rwanda’s Cycle Team Tim Lewis
Touching The Void Joe Simpson
The Damned United David Peace
Ali: A Life Jonathan Eig
The Extraordinary Life of Serena Williams Shelina Janmohamed
