THE CURRICULUM

 All year groups in the school follow a curriculum which is being constantly reviewed to reflect the requirements of the National Curriculum.  This provides clear guidelines on the concepts, skills and knowledge children might be expected to acquire by the time they reach key stages at 7, 11, 14 and 16 years of age.

The core subjects of Mathematics, English, Science, Religious Education and Information and communication Technology play a prominent part in every child's education.  Other foundation subjects taught are Design Technology, History, Geography, Art, Music and Physical Education.  In addition all children develop their learning in the areas of Personal, Social and Health Education and Citizenship

The curriculum is being constantly reviewed and adapted to ensure that all children receive their statutory entitlement to the full range of the National Curriculum and also that the curriculum meets their wider needs. We believe that, although we do achieve very high academic standards, we should never rest on our laurels and that we should always strive to stretch and engage the children across a broad range of subjects and experiences.
