Curriculum

Our Curriculum

We believe learning should:

• Develop enquiring minds that question, explore and investigate.
• Provide opportunities for learners to apply core basic skills in real life situations.
• Involve the whole community.
• Enrich spiritual development so children can philosophise, debate, wonder, and question so they develop their own opinions and beliefs on a variety of issues whilst showing respect for others.
• Ensure all pupils achieve by maintaining high expectations and personalising learning to suit all needs.
