Curriculum

Our curriculum is deep rooted in a philosophy for education that allows all of our children to have the opportunity to access and engage in lessons that are creative, innovative with interconnectivity across subjects.  Our intention is to enable our children to reach high levels of academic and artistic achievement.

 

Subjects are taught in the context of a purposeful and meaningful topic that inspires, excites and enthuses learners, offering them transferrable skills for life-long learning. The progressive curriculum builds upon prior knowledge, challenges thinking and enables a higher level of understanding for long term memory acquisition, storage and retention.

Our intent is to ensure that the children's experiences are engaging and memorable, one of the ways we do this is through our themed days, rich experiences and focused weeks etc.  Our termly enrichment days are hugely successful. We encourage our parents to come into school are take part in a range of curriculum events, we have an open-door policy during our themed days. We also enrich the curriculum in many other ways, check out the gallery and our links below to see what we have been doing.
