Our curriculum is constructed around the discrete subjects in the National Curriculum. It is designed to help pupils learn subject-specific knowledge, vocabulary and thinking skills. We are also keen to build pupils’ understanding of the ways in which different subjects complement each other; to help them think creatively and flexibly across the range of subjects they learn. We take a thematic approach to help children make links between subjects.

Our curriculum involves termly themes. These are broad and designed to encourage deep, critical thinking. They reflect key themes in our pupils' current and future lives. Examples include, The Nature of Belief, Conflict in Society, Our Changing Earth and Thinkers, Innovators and Inventors.
