Curriculum

Our aim is to nurture respectful, well-mannered, confident individuals with strong values, a love for learning, and a clear sense of their own interests and potential. Whether their passion lies in reading, writing, mathematics, science, art, drama, or sport, we want every child to leave us ready to thrive in their new school community.

We feel passionate that education is not restricted to the gaining of knowledge and the acquiring of essential skills, but it also includes the personal development of each child in its fullest sense, including spiritual, moral, social and cultural development (SMSC).

SMSC is embedded within the curriculum and is delivered through assemblies, cross curricular discussions and games. It does not target external outcomes in the same way as many other subjects, but focuses upon a child’s internal development through engagement and reflection on issues which question and challenge children’s view of themselves as individuals, part of a community and the contribution they can make to society.

Our curriculum is accessible for all, including those with disabilities and special educational needs.Curriculum Rationale

Happy children learn better

We believe that children learn best when they are happy, motivated and excited by what’s happening in the classroom. Excellent achievements will be a by-product of the education on offer and not the only goal.
The children’s wishes, rights and entitlements are at the core of all discussions and decisions concerning the curriculum and the quality of learning experience we offer.
