Subjects

The aim of our teachers is always to deliver lessons that children enjoy and that motivate them to achieve. We believe that all learning should be creative, not just arts subjects.  In all lessons, children are encouraged to strive for excellence.

 

We want all of our pupils to be confident readers, writers and mathematicians. Our teachers make sure these areas, as well as the rest of the National Curriculum, are taught in ways that engage the natural sense of curiosity that children have. 

 

The result of this is that children become eager, confident pupils who understand the joy of learning and are prepared well for academic success.
