Our Curriculum Vision

We believe that the purpose of education is to bring about goodness: human flourishing.  We believe that to do this, our curriculum should be broad and balanced; it should build knowledge, encourage independence, curiosity and creativity; produce collaborators, innovators, leaders and, above all, it should help our children to understand what it means to be human.

We aim for our curriculum to be inclusive with a strong message that every child is unique. Our aim is for each child to see themselves in the curriculum, whilst making their learning a personal, distinctive journey.

We promote the needs of all our learners, challenging them, encouraging and supporting them to problem solve, enquire, interpret and communicate their ideas.

We want our children be able to be enthusiastic learners, who retain and transfer their learning, with broad knowledge and skills for life.

We also want our children to be fluent and knowledgeable readers, as we believe that reading and rich vocabulary are the gateway to all learning.

We want our children to be equipped with cultural capital to make them versatile citizens able to achieve and contribute positively within and beyond our school community.

Beyond the classroom…
