Curriculum Overview

Curriculum Statement

Aim

We are committed to nurturing children’s curiosity and creativity through an inspiring, broad and engaging curriculum. Everyday children are challenged and encouraged to be independent learner’s, to be resilient and aspirational, so that they all reach their full potential.

We provide opportunities for children to experience a sense of achievement  through sport, music and creative arts. We aim to instil a passion for leaning that will empower them to become successful and to make positive contributions to the local community and beyond.
