We support school trips because we believe that by drawing on connections from real-world and real-life experiences, the curriculum becomes more relevant for our learners and enables the cross-fertilization of knowledge, skills, and understanding.
We are firmly committed to an interdisciplinary approach to learning. We believe this enriches the curriculum and allows our learners to make connections between their work.
This is also an approach that better allows the school to fulfill its commitment to meet the individual needs of all our students, and empowers teachers to be imaginative and innovative in their daily practice.
In Reception the focus is on learning through play. Young learners are invited to discover the world around them at learning stations that focus on different areas of the curriculum and aid their physical and social development.
In Primary school, curricular areas are integrated meaningfully into widely embracing topics. These topics tend to focus on an area of the curriculum such as Humanities or Science but English skills are at the heart of every theme.
In later years, skills are practiced across the entire curriculum. The Secondary curriculum is well-balanced, providing time for academic work as well as music, drama and sports.
