Enjoy every exciting educational experience
Raising the attainment of children across all areas of the curriculum is central to our teaching. We teach the full national Curriculum and take great care to enrich learning through both first hand and practical experiences. All children, irrespective of their learning ability, are supported through an extensive range of strategies and activities.
As well as our regular weekly clubs and activities, there are a whole host of other opportunities available to pupils. Each year there are residential visits organised for years 3, 4, 5 and 6, artistic and dramatic performances, sporting events, Summer and Christmas Fairs, and superb events organised by our hard-working Parents and Teachers Association. Children also benefit from a range of cultural experiences through visits to theatres, art galleries, museums and places of interest as well as working with visiting story-tellers, artists, writers and performers.
It is central to our beliefs that academic, creative and social excellence is only attainable when we feel secure, happy and valued. It is therefore our priority that all our pupils are supported and nurtured throughout their time with us. Every child matters to us and we fully support the DCSF agenda to increase opportunities for young people:
- to be healthy
- to stay safe
- to enjoy and achieve
- to make a positive contribution
- to achieve economic wellbeing
We acknowledge the importance of developing a caring and stimulating environment, where children’s high self-esteem enables them to take risks in learning and to learn confidently through their mistakes. We teach children that getting ‘stuck’ is not a sign of failure, developing strategies for independence. We encourage children to ask questions and for them to learn how to solve challenges and problems.
