We redesigned our curriculum in 2010 and we are very pleased with the results. Learning is based around topics which are carefully planned. Skills, taught in English and Maths, are then developed further in other areas of the curriculum. We have a very broad, balanced and creative curriculum and we believe greatly in the value of outdoor learning.

Here is what Ofsted Inspectors said about our curriculum:

“The recently restructured curriculum offers a good range of learning experiences. Newly developed topics promote cross-curricular skills effectively.”

“There are good opportunities for art, music and physical development.”

“Currently, the school is focusing upon the development of outdoor learning opportunities, making the most of the extensive grounds.”

“Personal, social, health and citizenship education has a positive impact on pupils’ personal development.”

“External partnerships contribute well to extending pupils’ learning.”

“A good range of special events, visits, enrichment activities and good extra – curricular provision make a significant contribution to pupils’ learning and enjoyment. They contribute also to their good spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.”
