Curriculum and Learning
We are very proud of our "Mission Possible" Curriculum that engages, challenges and inspires the children across the school in their learning about the past and present, the near and far, the natural and the experimental as well as the arts and a wide range of sports. Our committed subject leads within the school are continually monitoring, evaluating, reviewing and updating their subjects alongside the class teachers to ensure that all the children are becoming valued and knowledgeable citizens of the world we live in.
