At each Key Stage we develop our intentions through both the structured curriculum and informal learning to provide the conditions in which individuals can flourish.
Our Curriculum
Every school must offer a curriculum which is balanced and broadly based and which promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school. It must also prepare pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life. DfE
