Our teaching develops effective knowledge, skills and attributes that enable the children to be confident, responsible and compassionate whilst developing a respect for humankind and the world in which we live. We want every child to have the core skills of literacy and mathematics mastered and learn through a rich and creative curriculum that encompasses science, technologies, humanities and the arts. In addition, we have a range of enrichment activities delivered through the children's personalised timetables to enhance the children's learning experiences.
