Curriculum & Assessments
Curriculum Aims- To offer a broad, balanced, challenging curriculum that, as well as fulfilling the National Curriculum, develops confidence, aesthetic awareness, a sense of fair-play, sound moral values and self-esteem.

- To develop the child’s confidence, self-knowledge, skills and attitudes towards learning which will enable him/her to grow towards being a caring, responsible member of the wider community.

Students will be educated to the highest standards in a warm, friendly, secure and conservative environment. The environmental conditions to learning are further achieved by the school’s healthy and balanced emphasis on discipline and fostering respect by all, for all.
