Curriculum principles

We believe every child deserves an extraordinary education that prepares them for life in a changing world. Our curriculum is designed to give children the best possible start by combining strong academic foundations with essential life skills.

What makes our curriculum special?

• Aligned with the National Curriculum: We follow the national standards while adding our own unique approach to make learning meaningful and engaging.
• Built for every child: Expert leaders design and review our curriculum regularly to ensure it meets the needs of all pupils.
• More than just knowledge: We help children develop essential qualities such as fairness, creativity, teamwork, and sustainability awareness.

How do children learn?

• Step-by-step learning: Each subject builds knowledge like bricks in a wall, with big ideas acting as the “mortar” that connects everything.
• Real-life connections: Lessons link learning to real-world situations, inspiring children to make a positive difference.
• Deep understanding: Through repeated learning and new experiences, children create a strong “tapestry” of knowledge that grows over time.

Goals for every child

We want pupils to:

• Understand sustainability and care for the planet.
• Work well with others and value equality.
• Think creatively and solve problems.
• Take pride in their work and celebrate achievements.

Preparing global citizens
