Small class numbers of 20 ensure that teachers quickly get to know their pupils. Every child reaches their potential by working towards their own individual targets within a personalised learning plan. Groupings are flexible so that those children who need extra time to consolidate their learning can have it, and equally, those children who grasp a concept quickly are able to move on and work at a faster pace.
We believe that children should be provided with as broad and varied a curriculum as possible from a very early age. To this end we provide additional subject specialist teachers for Physical Education, Music, Computing, French and Spanish from their first week at school. From the Year 3 they start to learn to play the major team sports and they begin swimming lessons. When children reach Year 5 they, in effect, begin secondary education as all lessons are taught by different subject specialists.
Outdoor learning has been incorporated into the school curriculum from English to Spanish, and from Maths to RE. The beautiful outdoor learning areas not only encourages and helps native British Wildlife to thrive around the school, but is also used for extracurricular activities such as Environmental and Gardening Clubs.
