Curriculum

The school publishes a dedicated phonics and early reading page, and describes a broad and balanced curriculum in the Early Years Foundation Stage covering the seven areas of learning and development [1][5]. English is taught using high-quality texts that complement other subjects such as history or science [2]. In design and technology, pupils draw on disciplines including mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art, while the art curriculum aims to engage, inspire and challenge pupils so they can develop creativity and create their own works of art, craft and design [3][4].
