Our Aims

• Teach a topic-based curriculum that is ambitious and designed to give all children the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to succeed in life.
• Our curriculum will ensure our children are exposed to a range of opportunities including day & residential trips, external visitors to the school and learning through play to facilitate and make children’s learning enjoyable.  
• Promote British Values in order to prepare children for their role in society, as confident, happy and tolerant citizens.
• Children will be encouraged to be independent, using imagination and resourcefulness to lead their own learning and lines of enquiry and make links with prior learning.
• Pupils will be supported to persevere with problem solving challenges, in a range of contexts throughout their school life. This will help children to build resilience and develop an understanding of how to overcome challenges.
