Our Provision
Our curriculum is centred around our school motto: Nurturing Hearts and Minds.
We hold both the academic attainment and the holistic development of pupils in high regard, such that we focus our curriculum into 8 key areas.
We believe that a strong focus on each of these areas will lead to pupils being both academically and emotionally literate by the time the graduate from our care in Year 6, in order to develop into successful, well-rounded and responsible citizens.
Cornerstones is the whole school scheme we use to deliver the literacy, PE, PSHE, science and humanities areas of our curriculum. We use a 4 stage pedagogy for these subjects. Within each stage, our pupils are able to develop their knowledge and understanding, creativity and curiosity and skills for life-long learning and success.
Each year group learns a topic for a half-term, which all the areas of the curriculum feed into that enables our pupils to be exposed to a breadth of National Curriculum Objectives.
In addition, as a STEAM school, we hold Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths in high regard, providing our pupils with opportunities within the curriculum to deepen their learning in these areas.
