Our school curriculum is broadly based and balanced promoting spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of all our pupils. It prepares children for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life. We achieve this through a practical and creative approach in which life skills are learnt as children apply their increasing knowledge to every area of their education. We aim to develop each child’s full potential in all aspects of the curriculum through exciting, challenging Enterprise and Real Life Experience. We promote confidence and team spirit through a cross-curricular approach which inspires independence and aspiration. Equal opportunities are provided for all pupils regardless of sex, religion, academic, physical or cultural background.
