The Curriculum

The school is organised into seven classes; from Reception to Year 6, with a maximum class size of thirty and is well resourced both indoors and outdoors. The curriculum is taught either as separate subjects (e.g. literacy, numeracy, PE and music) or as part of integrated studies using a variety of whole class, group or individual teaching methods. In addition to the class teachers, teaching assistants are employed to work in each year group and with children with special needs.
