Students develop into articulate, thoughtful individuals with strong English language skills, enabling them to excel academically and socially while contributing meaningfully to a literate and interconnected world.
Through the National Curriculum in England, students gain confidence as creative communicators with a deep appreciation for language and literature.

They build a strong mathematical foundation, developing curiosity and confidence through engaging challenges and thought-provoking activities.
With mathematics recognised as a lifelong skill, students learn through a "Mastery" approach, exploring concepts in depth with a focus on numbers and their applications. Extended units of study help them connect maths to real-world contexts, progressing from hands-on exploration to visual representations and ultimately abstract thinking.
Strengthening resilience, teamwork and fitness

By engaging in a diverse range of sports and activities, they build physical skills, confidence and an understanding of fair play. Physical Education inspires a healthy, active lifestyle while fostering character and encouraging personal achievement.

Students gain the knowledge, skills and values needed to navigate life confidently and responsibly through our PSHE programme. Lessons foster self-awareness, emotional well-being, healthy relationships and social responsibility, helping them face challenges and make informed decisions.
With PSHE embedded in the school’s pastoral care, students grow in a supportive environment, developing into compassionate, confident and well-rounded individuals.
Exploring the world through thematic learning
Students engage with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) as an integral part of their learning. The IPC provides a dynamic and comprehensive framework, offering a well-rounded, thematic and creative educational experience.
