The aim of our curriculum is to engage every child in a relevant and interesting curriculum.

A progressive curriculum offers the chance for every individual child to access learning at their level by building on previous knowledge and skills. Each child should be challenged and inspired through a rich curriculum to ensure that they are motivated to achieve their best in preparation for the next key stage.
