Curriculum Statement

We use a holistic pedagogy, engaging head, heart and hands.  Which brings community into the curriculum and the real world into our school and pupils’ lives. The framework of head, heart and hands illustrates pupils progressing from knowing to caring to loving to doing.

Head: 

Essential knowledge that pupils need to be educated global citizens, introducing them to the best that has been thought and said, and helping to engender an appreciation of human creativity and achievement

Heart:

In an atmosphere of mutual respect, pupils develop a sense of self, through attending to their own and others emotional, physical and mental well-being. By doing so, children develop resilience, embrace diversity and demonstrate shared values with a sense of pride.

Hands:

Setting the foundation for future lifelong learning with a high focus on essential literacy and mathematical skills. We also offer a wide range of learning opportunities, which develop key skills for example, leadership, teamwork and problem solving. By recognising and nurturing individual talents. We transcend the framework of the national curriculum through providing a myriad of enrichment and extracurricular experiences.

There are no limits!
