Curriculum
Our curriculum is broad based and designed to develop the full potential of all our children. We are keen that our pupils apply what they have learned to problem solving and we feel it is of paramount importance that they develop a genuine love of learning.
At this stage in their school careers we it is essential that children learn to use language effectively and imaginatively in writing and speaking and that they acquire the mathematical and scientific understanding essential for today’s world.
All pupils are taught English, Mathematics, Science, Geography, History, French, Information and Communication Technology, Religious Studies, Music, Art, Design & Technology, Personal and Social Education, Physical Education and Games.
In Year 3 French is taught in a practical and playful style and as children move up the school the approach is more academically challenging. Pupils in year 5 spend a long weekend in France where they have plenty of opportunities to practice language skills and experience local culture.
Introductions to Latin, Italian and Spanish form part of our after school activities programme.
