Curriculum
The curriculum provides a holistic learning experience which is personalised to meet the assessed needs of individuals and groups. We use pupils’ interests and talents to provide motivating and engaging learning experiences and programmes of study. There is also an emphasis on developing resilience, independence and lifelong learning skills tailored to individual needs. The curriculum provides challenge, supports differing needs and learning styles and the acquisition of 21st-century learning skills of critical thinking, creative thinking, communicating, and collaborating.
For pupils in Key Stage 1, 2 and 3 we follow the National Curriculum. We promote excellence in teaching and enjoyment in learning. We aim to provide a rich, stimulating curriculum distinct to our school.
At Key Stage 4, pupils work through programmes of study which reflect ambitious yet achievable accreditation. Pupils at Key Stage 4 take nationally recognised qualifications, including GCSE, as appropriate.
