Cultural Capital

Ofsted defines Cultural Capital as: “the essential knowledge that children need to be educated citizens” (p31 Ofsted EY Inspection Handbook), and, it continues, that will prepare them for their future success.

At St Martin’s children’s developing ‘Cultural Capital’ is woven through everyday school experiences: teaching and learning; Collective Worship; roles and responsibilities and playing and exploring in addition to enrichment activities designed to ensure all children leave St Martin’s ready for the next stage of their education and their lives. 

Through our Cultural Capital offer, we hope to develop our children's aspirations for themselves, others and God's World.

In addition to the opportunities available within the taught curriculum, cultural capital is enhanced through extra curriculuar activities which promote the followng develomental areas.
