CURRICULUM INTENT
Our curriculum has been designed to:

- Include consideration for substantive content, disciplinary content and general skills for each subject discipline that is delivered by teachers in the most effective way for learning.

Our curriculum is devised through:
- specific themes that incorporate the statutory national curriculum objectives;

We place great importance in making our curriculum relevant, exciting and purposeful so our children develop memorable experiences and flourish.
