Curriculum

Learning in different subject areas is dynamic, enjoyable and rigorous. Every lesson enables children to develop their oral skills and writing opportunities are maximised. Our wide range of subjects is enriched and brought to life through experiences that include trips and visitors into school. A blend of both key skills and knowledge that equip children for life-long learning is what drives our teaching.

In FS1 and FS2, every topic begins with exciting learning opportunities planned by our EYFS staff. These topics are open ended, flexible and seen as a learning journey for the children as well as the staff!

We supplement the national curriculum with a range of fluid events and lessons personalised to specific children as well as smaller groups or, where necessary, the whole cohort.
