a love of learning and a love of life... I am very proud of all the achievements of our children but I truly believe we have to do more than educate, we work hard to inspire our children so they develop 'a love of learning and a love of life . We have an obligation to give all the children in our care the very best education and childhood we can!
Our staff are committed to making learning exciting and interesting We have designed a Courageous curriculum. Each termly project starts with a key enquiry question and develops the childrens philosophical enquiry kick-starting their curiosity. Concept words make connections across subjects, for example justice, beauty and humility.
The curriculum is skills based, allowing deeper learning and is split into three projects, one for each term, Create, Explore and Discover. An authentic outcome and critical audience means a real goal to work towards, building motivation and raising expectations and expertise whilst developing awareness of professions and careers.
Finally, the critique enables the production of beautiful work, positive feedback and growth mindset.
