A sequential, thematic curriculum

Connects learning across subjects and builds upon what learners already know; pupils know what is to be learnt and how, what it builds on, and what it builds towards so that they achieve a broad foundation of knowledge and skills.

Make learning enjoyable and challenging

Stimulates learning by ensuring teaching techniques and strategies respond to the needs of pupils. We promote a love of reading through sharing and investigating quality texts; provide a rich range of resources to enthuse children and enable learning to thrive; creating memorable moments of awe and wonder.

Enrich the learning experience

Proactively improve mental and physical health

Make every child feel valued and secure. Help them develop the life skills to become well-rounded, emotionally & socially intelligent individuals.

Ensure every child succeeds

Provides an inclusive education within a culture of support and high expectations; track attainment and progress closely, and ensure interventions happen quickly and effectively where appropriate.

Develop learning partnerships
