We are a school which has an innovative curriculum that allows staff the flexibility to create an inspiring, exciting learning journey for all our children, enabling them to develop into active citizens of the future, empowered to make their best contribution to society.
The curriculum is developed in a thematic and practical way that engages both staff and children. We seek ways to make our curriculum even more interesting every year. Lessons are expected to be fascinating, engaging, exhilarating, and demand that pupils think for themselves whilst ensuring they see a purpose to their work. A wide range of learning styles are used ensuring personalised learning is at the heart of what we do.
Teachers and support staff work together to deliver the agreed curriculum to all the children. Together they assess pupils progress and achievement discussing each child and developing effective programmes to ensure each child’s self-confidence and self-esteem rise quickly, developing a thirst for learning
We can offer a strong team spirit and very high staff morale, which has created an open and supportive environment where staff can be innovative in accelerating pupils learning.
