In these years of school, students lay a solid foundation for learning that they will use for the rest of their lives. The National Curriculum for England has a very structured flow of learning that challenges and assesses students to ensure development in key academic areas is being met. Integration of coding and theme/project based learning into the curriculum supports students in correlating different areas of learning in a constructive manner to develop lifelong skills of collaboration, real life application, creative problem solving and decision making.

Achieving full potential

Learning ensures that all of our students are enthused by what they are learning, and our teachers are passionate about what they are teaching.  Students pursue academic and non-academic prospects through various activities. Socially preferred behaviour patterns are inculcated through a focus on etiquette and values that will lay the foundation for students’ social interaction and development.
