The school emphasizes reading and writing to develop fluent communicators and action researchers across subjects. It supports mathematical and scientific skills, and aims to develop pupils’ intellectual, moral and spiritual growth to become responsible global citizens. The curriculum is designed to be inclusive, equal, and to provide opportunities for all learners, with attention to SEND and equality.
