Curriculum

Our curriculum has been designed to reflect the background and experience of our children; it is outward facing, setting learning in local, national and global contexts wherever possible; it also celebrates our diverse and inclusive school family. This in turn supports our children to aspire, flourish and achieve well so preparing them for life in an ever-changing world.
