Primary

Throughout all areas of the Primary curriculum, children are challenged to apply their knowledge and understanding in a wide range of contexts. Children are encouraged to think critically and talk openly about their learning. Self-reflection is a vital skill in the learning process; through self and peer assessment students actively seek to improve their own work and make progress. The development of self-confidence enables children to take ownership of their work, to solve problems and to undertake new tasks and challenges.

The Primary curriculum is taught through discrete subjects with cross curricular links throughout to consolidate learning. The core subjects of English, Mathematics, Science and ICT are taught separately, while Geography, History, Music, Art and PSHE are taught thematically within creatively planned topic lessons. This themed approach provides a meaningful context for learning which engages the children and makes learning interesting and fun.
