Our curriculum is designed to allow pupils to apply prior knowledge and skill, therefore developing schema and becoming effective learners. We are responsive to issues happening in the world, both locally and globally and through a variety of different teaching and learning strategies ensure that pupils garner experiences which will enrich their lives.
