The Yorkshire Learning Trust Curriculum Principles
The curriculum in all STARMAT schools is designed to help children and young
people become well-rounded individuals who have had opportunities to develop
themselves, their ability to interact with others and contribute positively
to society, and the knowledge and skills that will equip them for life.
