Our Jubilee Year
In the Catholic Church, a Jubilee or Holy Year is a very special time. It is a year when the Church invites everyone to say sorry, forgive each other, and make peace. It is a time to grow closer to God, to be kind to other people, and to care for the world He made. Pope Francis declared the Jubilee year of 2025, 'Pilgrims of Hope.' At St Patrick's, we have received the banner from the Diocese of Leeds and participated in including our school badge. We have also been inspired by the Holy Door of St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and created our own 'doors of hope' into our classrooms.
Prayers
Our children in EYFS say prayers each day, using Makaton.
Please have a look at some examples of our work ranging from Nursery to Year 6.

Religious Education Curriculum
Curriculum Vision
Our curriculum promotes the dignity and freedom of every person as created in the image and likeness of God and to develop, nurture and deepen each child's faith journey. Through the curriculum teaching and Catholic life, we aim to actively implement our school's mission statement, fulfil the aims of our school and live the gospel of our Blessed Lord. The outcome aims of our Religious Education Curriculum is religiously literate and engaged young people who have the knowledge, understanding and skills – appropriate to their age and capacity – to reflect spiritually, and think ethically and theologically, and who are aware of the demands of religious commitment in everyday life.
PROGRAMME OF STUDY
To fulfil our aims and objectives we follow the approved Diocese of Leeds scheme, 'Lighting the Path' scheme in Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage One, and 'The Way, the Truth and the Life' (TWTL) programme in Key Stage Two.
The aim of the programme is to explore the religious dimension of questions about life and dignity and purpose within the Catholic tradition.
