  Curriculum Aims  
 

We aim to provide every child in our care with an education which meets their individual needs and that challenges them to give of their best in all that they do.  We have created an environment in which all children can achieve personal success whether this be on the sports field, in the classroom or in one of our many extra-curricular activities.

Key Aims:

  • We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum which will meet the needs of all pupils, enabling them in the different areas of the curriculum to use their gifts, overcome obstacles and recognise their achievements.
  • The curriculum will be coherent so that pupils can see the connection and relationship between different subject areas.
  • The curriculum will be relevant in that it takes account of pupils’ prior experience and their ability to do what is planned.
  • The curriculum will be differentiated so that the needs of pupils of differing abilities might be met.
  • The curriculum content and structure will allow pupils to succeed and achieve their potential.
