Our intention is to provide a broad, balanced curriculum, delivered through a culture of high expectations, principled and caring relationships and consistent routines. We use our expert subject knowledge to inspire and enthuse children, sparking curiosity and risk taking.
Our curriculum and teaching seek to develop vocabulary, knowledge, skills, character and culture over the long term.
Years 7, 8 and Year 9 follow the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP).
The MYP consists of eight subject groups: language acquisition, language and literature, individuals and societies, sciences, mathematics, arts, physical and health education, and design. Student study is supported by a minimum of 50 hours of instruction per subject group in each academic year.
All pupils will complete a weekly lesson for PSHRE and Citizenship to complement their advisory programme.
