“ We want our children to believe they can make a difference”
“ We want our children to take risks and aspire to achieve their goals.”
“ We want our children to be resilient and challenge each other in order to succeed together.”
Our curriculum is underpinned by education for global citizenship. We believe that our children are entitled to an education that equips them with the knowledge, skills and values they need to embrace the opportunities and challenges they encounter; creating a future that they want to live in. Learning is brought to life through current contexts that connects to our children’s lives - who they are, how they fit into the world and how they can contribute back.
Our curriculum connects to real life, promotes thinking as a global citizen and develops the attitude and disposition of our children to make an impact on society. Our curriculum connects what is taught, as in knowledge and skills, with purpose.
All aspects of our curriculum are accessible to all children, irrespective of their ethnic background, gender, disability, religious or linguistic background. We strive hard to meet the needs of those pupils with special educational needs, those with disabilities, those who are more able, those with special gifts and talents and the children who are learning English as an additional language. We provide a rich, challenging curriculum, which stretches all of our children. Staff are aware of children who have exceptional talents and gifts and monitor or track their progress carefully to ensure their academic potential or talent is continually developed. For further details see our separate policies in our Policies Page or our Accessibility Plan, available on request.
