AN OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC FOUNDATION

ENGLISH NATIONAL CURRICULUM

The English National Curriculum teaches the fundamental knowledge and skills every child needs to flourish. As well as focusing on English, maths and science, your child will develop personally, socially, and emotionally. Our framework of academic excellence, values, and wellbeing – which are the hallmarks of the curriculum – prepare our students for the challenges of secondary education.

INTERNATIONAL PRIMARY CURRICULUM (IPC)

In subjects including geography, history, art, and design technology, our students follow the International Primary Curriculum. This thematic, creative programme, which has clear personal, subject, and learning goals, can be adapted to each student’s interests and level of understanding.
