Whole School Curriculum

The children follow a programme of topics that incorporates the whole range of National Curriculum subjects. Each topic has a particular bias towards a subject or subjects but also incorporates to a lesser extent other National Curriculum subjects. We place a strong emphasis on personalised learning throughout the school, which means the pupils are closely involved in monitoring their own education.
