Our Classes and Curriculum
Our children love learning and make outstanding progress while they are with us.
We are constantly striving to provide exciting and engaging learning. Working within the Big Life Schools’ curriculum, based on the the National Curriculum, whilst considering our context, community and values to equip our children to be lifelong learners.
Our teaching aims to embed the Big Life Values, which are Thoughtful, Honest, Creative, Courageous, Inspiring, and Valuing Difference. Through our values-led curriculum and our Rights Respecting Schools commitment, we promote our children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, ensuring that they grow up as reflective and responsible citizens.

- Explicit Instruction
