We combine high academic standards with superb pastoral care to give our children the confidence and ability to succeed.
Our broad curriculum is designed to give all of our children a thorough grounding in the core subjects of Literacy and Numeracy as well as the Arts, Humanities and Sport.

Additional Lessons Continued:
Literacy and communication
As a school, we adopt a text-based approach to Literacy, thoroughly exploring topic-based books to enable children to immerse themselves in the text and write for a range of purposes.
Weekly oracy sessions also allow children to engage in discussions and debate, encouraging them to think philosophically and ask thought-provoking questions. Opportunities for individual presentations additionally enable children to hone their speaking and listening skills in front of their peers.
Literacy lessons are supplemented with phonics and spelling sessions plus daily reading with class teachers. Fine motor skills are developed through discrete weekly handwriting lessons and are reinforced through extended writing projects.
As the children move up the school, early grammatical concepts are taught with a continued focus on spelling rules. Children also begin to engage in whole class reading sessions with a focus on emerging comprehension skills.
numeracy
In Numeracy, all pupils cover pure and applied Mathematics; number and algebra; shape, space, and measures; and handling data.
A further focus on conceptual understanding and verbal reasoning is embedded within the Numeracy curriculum to enhance competence in problem-solving.
Combined, this encourages our children to increase their confidence in problem-solving while also building on their fundamental skills.
