A Brief Overview

The curriculum is all the subjects we teach our children.

Our working day is broken into 4 one hour blocks and a half an hour slot. We tend to teach English and Maths in the morning and all the other subjects in the afternoon. 

Our Curriculum aims to help our learners:

  • To learn and achieve their potential in Literacy and Numeracy and to achieve excellent SAT results.
  • To have a broad range of curriculum skills which they use to help them gain a wider understanding of the world.
  • To be inspired, challenged and prepared for the future.
  • To realize with hard work they can achieve anything they want.
  • To have enquiring minds and think better for themselves.
  • To be creative, resourceful and able to solve problems.
  • To understand better how they learn and to learn from their mistakes.
  • Develop a sense of self worth and belief in themselves.
  • Become increasingly independent, take initiative and organize themselves well.
  • Work co-operatively with others and in teams.
  • Respect others and act with integrity.
  • Feel they can change things for the better.

Children under 5 years old go into our Pre-school and Reception classes. The Reception year group, follow a different curriculum to the rest of the school known as the Foundation Stage Curriculum.

The rest of the school, that is, year groups 1 through to 6 follow the National Curriculum. The 3 ‘core’ subjects are English, Maths and Science and there are 8 ‘foundation’ subjects.

We are also in the process of introducing modern foreign languages into our Curriculum. For more in-depth information about our curriculum please follow the links in this section...
