Onwards to Secondary School

If you are keen to lend a helping hand at home but concerned about teaching your child differently from the school, we hear you.  Our Curriculum section, located within the School's Policies page, offers detailed insights into the teaching methods we employ across various subjects.  From long addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to English grammar and beyond, you'll find comprehensive guides to ensure consistency and support your child's learning journey.  Feel free to explore and access this valuable resource, providing you with the confidence to assist your child's education at home.

Collective Worship

Collective Worship is a very important part of our week. As a class, we lead class collective worship every week.  We think really hard about the theme of our Collective Worship, the Word of God which goes with it and a mission for us all to think about and to join in with.
