Our Approach

The best way to nurture curious, creative thinkers is to begin with a foundation of knowledge. We design ambitious, memorable and engaging lessons to achieve this, building confidence and challenging the children.

English

Reading is the gateway to knowledge. Once a child can read fluently and independently, they widen their world.

Maths

Children have opportunities to apply and develop their mathematical knowledge and understanding through a variety of classroom activities and, where appropriate, in other areas of the curriculum.

Science

We see Science as an essential discipline for young children. Our curriculum will lay the foundation for pupils to understand what the discipline of Science tells us about the world.
