Curriculum Highlights

The bespoke curriculum is broad and balanced taking into account National Curriculum expectations and our school’s unique characteristics. It is an enquiry based approach taught through Learning Challenges which enable children to have input into their learning. The Learning Challenges also give context to the learning to access subjects in a thematic way. We offer a great deal of enrichment and first hand experiences to ensure all children have equal opportunities regardless of family circumstances. Special days and events including visitors, expert facilitators and educational visits enhance the curriculum further. Values underpin all that we do, fostering curiosity, independence and resilience. Physical and emotional wellbeing have a high priority within our curriculum design, as well as opportunities to deepen spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding.
