Curriculum

Reading and the development of pupils’ communication skills are at the centre of the
curriculum. Leaders and teachers share the ambition that every child will make as much
progress as possible in being able to read. – OFSTED November 2022

Pupils benefit from active and fun activities, which make them want to take part and learn.  In early years and beyond, the curriculum is well thought out. – OFSTED November 2022
