Curriculum

Our ambitious curriculum aims to inform and empower our students, so they thrive intellectually, emotionally, and physically.

Our well-sequenced, knowledge-rich curriculum, coupled with effective pedagogy, provides the foundation for educational success. The core and foundation curriculum provides the platform for all our students to flourish, regardless of starting points or background. We address barriers to learning to ensure no child is left behind. We place high value on the creative and performing arts, sport and providing opportunities for students to pursue their own talents and interests, as well as developing a sense of wonder, celebrating curiosity, and fostering a lifelong love of learning.

Our extracurricular offer provides students with opportunities to experience activities that extend their learning beyond the classroom. All our students access high-quality, impartial Careers Education Information Advice and Guidance to support them with their future pathways.

We are committed to equipping our students with the knowledge and skills needed to make safe and informed decisions, to be independent and critical thinkers with the character to consistently present the best of themselves and make a positive contribution to our community.

Our curriculum reflects our core values of aspiration, courtesy and excellence:
