Curriculum Vision

Our Pillars

Our curriculum is underpinned by five core pillars: Creativity, Content, Cohesion, Community, and Compassion. They reflect our school’s values, context and approach to learning ensuring a rich and meaningful learning experience for all pupils. We are an inclusive school that serves a diverse community including pupils from a variety of backgrounds. By embracing these five pillars, we aim to create a curriculum that is not only academically rigorous but also enriching, engaging, and meaningful for all children from Nursery through to Year 6. It teaches children both the skills and knowledge to thrive in their next stages.

Cohesion:

Community:

We foster a strong sense of community within our school, where all members feel valued, respected, and included. We encourage collaboration, empathy, and respect for diversity, creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment for all.
