What does your child learn at school each day?

Our curriculum is based around enquiry-led pedagogy. As part of this we use ‘States of Being’ to empower learners.  Each subject has a Champion which is sometimes referred to as the Subject Leader.

Subjects are taught through the following ‘States of Being’:
•    Authors – readers and writers
•    Mathematicians
•    Engineers (Computing and DT)
•    Athletes (PE)
•    Musicians
•    Geographers
•    Historians
•    Scientists
•    Artists
•    Philosophers (RE and PSHE)
•    Linguists (MFL)

Through CPD and coaching with Lighting Up Learning, the staff are able to implement the ‘Curious City Curriculum’ which encourages the children to ask and answer questions, learn from prior experiences and explore through challenges and enquiries.
