Curriculum
Our curriculum is broad, research based and ensures deepened understanding of key concepts. It is sequentially broken into blocks of knowledge. The composites and components of knowledge are organised for systematic delivery that aligns with how children learn best and retrieve knowledge. It is designed to equip our children with the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in a global community. We believe that our curriculum ensures the essential knowledge that introduces children to the best that can be taught and engender an appreciation of creativity and enjoyment. It enables children to explore the world around them and be curious about phenomenon. It promotes emotional security and development of character.
Our curriculum is underpinned by a pedagogical approach that enables the implementation,
training and support of staff to deliver it as intended. It includes and extends beyond the
requirements of the National Curriculum, in order to enrich the experience of the children. It
promotes spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of children and prepares children for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life. We aim to teach our children to grow into positive and responsible citizens with the dispositions for success.
