The Curriculum
A broad education, prioritising English, maths and science, while ensuring that children are stimulated with French, humanities, art, ICT, music, DT, food technology, horticulture and forest school/ outdoor education.
Games & The Arts

Pastoral Care
The aim of each form teacher is to build self-esteem and nurture confidence in every child in their care. Happiness is our priority. Upper School children are given one-to-one time with their teacher to ensure that their needs are met. Numerous opportunities to perform, or speak in public, build self-assurance and poise.
