We want every child to experience a broad, balanced, and inspiring curriculum that helps them grow in knowledge, skills, and confidence.
In line with the National Curriculum, children in Key Stage 1 (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3–6) study the following subjects:
Core Subjects
- English – developing confident readers, writers, and speakers
- Mathematics – problem solving, logical thinking, and number fluency
- Science – exploring the world through investigation and discovery
Foundation Subjects
- Religious Education
- Computing
- Geography
- History
- Art
- Physical Education
- Music
- Design & Technology
- Personal, Social & Health Education
- French
Our Reception children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, laying the foundations for a lifelong love of learning through play, exploration, and creativity.
Building learning step by step
We carefully plan how children’s knowledge and skills develop as they move through the school. Using progression maps for every subject, we make sure that each topic builds on what children have already learned, helping them to make secure links and deepen their understanding over time. This ensures that learning is not just repeated but extended, so children can achieve more as they grow in confidence and ability.
Making learning meaningful
While some lessons are taught as individual subjects, our teachers make meaningful links across the curriculum wherever possible. For example, children might use their literacy skills to write about a history topic, or apply their mathematical knowledge during a science investigation. This helps learning to feel connected and relevant.
Technology in learning
Digital skills are an essential part of life today, so computing and technology are woven throughout our curriculum. Children are taught both the skills they need – such as coding, online safety, and using software – and how to apply them across their learning.
[The curriculum] is creatively planned and reviewed to meet the needs of mixed aged classes. This ensures pupils have the opportunity and space to flourish in a safe and caring environment, where they are known and valued. The curriculum engages and inspires pupils, leading them to extend their own learning beyond the classroom. Many participate in extra-curricular activities, where friendships across the federation of schools are further developed. SIAMS report 2025
