We believe that our curriculum should prepare children for life in an ever-changing world and so there is an emphasis on sustainability and developing core life skills. We discuss points of interest within the news with children as they arise, to ensure that children develop a good understanding of the world in which they live. This is often achieved through assemblies and in class lessons. Our PSHE curriculum and our curriculum which prepares children to become responsible citizens is detailed below:
