A Balanced Curriculum
'Teachers expect pupils to behave impeccably, so they do.' Ofsted, 2007
We are pleased to offer a stimulating, varied and creative curriculum, which allows all children to thrive and make the best possible progress in a variety of ways. Whilst maintaining the importance of the core subjects, teachers use a topic themed approach to develop skills across the curriculum. Termly class trips (which are partially funded by the PSA) are used to enrich lessons through new experiences and a hands on approach!
Incredibly popular with the children, our 'theme weeks' allow a whole weekly timetable to be devoted to a theme followed across the school; these happen once each term. Visiting speakers take workshops, coaching sessions and assemblies to develop children's thinking about the theme, furthermore inspiring work carried out in the classroom. A sharing assembly at the end of the week, allows children and parents to see how each class has approached the theme. Recent themes covered include: Science; Climate Change and Get Active.
