Mount Carmel Values

Our aim is for every child to leave here an Ambassador of Christ.

Our values come from the Church.

C - consideration

Our British Values

Our children learn about our British Values through 5 areas. These are discussed at whole school liturgies and during lunch times. We are committed to serving our community, with the strong belief that we are one school for all.

Our Power Values

Our aim is for every child to leave with the power to make a positive change in the world. Through our subjects there are five themes that we believe are integral with teaching children how to become powerful adults.

We ensure that these themes run through our subjects. Children learn about 5 areas of power - Education, Religion, Resources, People and Legacy.

Our aim for your child by the time they leave Mount Carmel.

We have planned a high-quality physical education curriculum to inspire your child to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. We want your child to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness.
Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

We want to ensure that your child will
 develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
 are physically active for sustained periods of time
 engage in competitive sports and activities
 lead healthy, active lives

The Power of Learning

How Physical Education is taught in the Early Years Foundation Stage.

EYFS

Gross Motor Skills are developed through climbing higher, running faster and jumping further. Children will conclude movements within balances, stillness, spin, rock, slide and bounce.
Children will develop their overall body strength by themselves and with others.

Fine Motor Skills are developed through their pencil grip, threading, sewing, pouring, dancing with scarves, using spray bottles, dressing and undressing toys, caring for plants, making models with junk materials.

Children will further develop and refine a range of ball skills, including throwing catching, passing, batting and aiming. Children will be introduced to ball games with teams and rules.
