Curriculum Highlights

Curriculum is broad, research-based and sequentially broken into blocks of knowledge. Extends beyond the National Curriculum to enrich learning and develop cultural capital. Reading is central to the curriculum, with books changed weekly and daily reading with parents. Aims to develop spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development and prepare children to be responsible global citizens. Curriculum employs technology for remote learning (Google Classroom) and includes sustainability and charity work as part of learning.
