The school strives to provide a good education in a caring happy atmosphere where children feel secure and self-confidence is developed. The children are encouraged to play together, to share and to think of others.
It is important for children and staff to respect each other and to enjoy working together. Children are encouraged to learn and to do their best.
A range of work is offered in each class to provide for the abilities of all pupils. It has been planned to include the requirements of the National Curriculum. The work is organised on a subject or cross curricular basis whichever is the most suitable.
The school feels strongly that all children should be given an equal opportunity to have access to and take part in all curriculum and extra curricular activities.
The school follows Essential Letters and Sounds and the National Curriculum. Mathematics, English, Science and Computing form the core subjects of the curriculum. The curriculum also includes Art, Geography, History, Music, P.E., Religious Education, Personal Social Health Education, Foreign Languages and Design and Technology.
Children are taught according to their age, needs and ability within class groups.
Math and English is taught every day and every subject is given a weekly or ½ term allocation to ensure our pupils receive a balanced curriculum.
