All our classes are of mixed ability and there will be times when your child will be taught with their whole class, in smaller groups and also individually.
We work closely with outside agencies to ensure that children with needs, and their parents in some cases, have access to specialist support and advice.
Our pupils achieve high standards in all areas of the curriculum. We are really proud of our results over the last five years as they reflect the continued effort of our children and the success we have had in raising standards. We want our children to reach their full potential and we are pleased to see that in many cases they outdo our expectations!
The Governing Body’s Curriculum Statement.
“The Governing Body is responsible for ensuring good quality education in the school. It aims to help children to work to the best of their abilities in a caring, friendly, happy and secure school, in full partnership with parents.”
“Within the guidelines of the National Curriculum, we offer your child a curriculum to suit his/her age and ability. At the Primary School level we teach the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic, because we believe these are the tools that your child will need in the world outside the school environment. In addition to these, we also include science, creative arts, ethics, environmental, social and physical education to the curriculum because we also believe in giving your child a broad, balanced and relevant education”.
At the Secondary school level we impart values and life skills in the course of teaching and learning to ensure that our children are equipped with required skills to survive in today’s technologically advanced world.
