We provide a broad and well-balanced curriculum which supports the academic, social and personal development of every child. Our curriculum is delivered in an exciting and purposeful way that aims to provide the children with lifelong skills. The children are encouraged to incorporate the hives for learning across all aspects of their learning which encompass the values of our school.

During morning lessons children are taught the core subjects; Maths and English, through which they learn and practice fast maths, handwriting, spelling, phonics and guided reading. We ensure that there is continuity in how these lessons are taught throughout the school to enable all children to achieve their full potential.

Foundation subjects are taught in the afternoon, although meaningful links are made to Maths and English where appropriate. All areas of the curriculum encourage children to form links to their prior learning and identify progression.

We are a school that uses the Thrive approach, this means that we promote an ethos of identifying children’s individual needs and adapting learning around these. Our curriculum ensures that we nurture and enhance the pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development to help them develop positive relationships and a critical appreciation of and respect for their own and others’ beliefs, culture and identity. Children have the opportunity to link their learning to current events, celebrations and festivals and embrace differences both nationally and internationally.
