We also teach Personal, Social, Citizenship & Health Education (PSHE) as well as Religious Education and Sex Education & Relationships.
To ensure continuity and progression the school follows a curriculum plan that identifies the work to be covered during a particular year. This plan is reviewed annually to ensure that the curriculum is varied and balanced. We follow the Department of Education's National Curriculum 2014.

Each lower school year is made up of two mixed ability classes. Each upper school year is made up of three mixed ability classes. Year group teachers jointly plan relevant activities and learning experiences for their year and are responsible for adapting these to meet the individual needs of their class. From year 2, children are grouped by ability for maths lessons but learn in mixed ability classes for other areas of the curriculum.
The school has a very busy curriculum with many children involved in initiatives to support their learning, such as gifted and talented groups, booster sessions or music lessons.
