The Curriculum
Our curriculum is topic based, with the children learning through a creative, cross curricular approach when possible. We aim to develop key skills, problem solving strategies and good learning habits
which will allow them to cope with the wider world and di erent situations. The children work towards purposeful outcomes, which take on a variety of forms e.g. productions, written media, models and web pages. We ensure we teach the National Curriculum objectives to Key Stages One and Two, by careful monitoring and some discrete teaching of subjects where needed.
