The National Curriculum and the Primary Frameworks for Literacy and Numeracy are our guides to the learning and teaching that takes place at our school, providing the children with a broad and balanced curriculum.
We enhance and encourage further independent learning by being creative and innovative in identifying and organising areas of study which promote cross-curricular links and encourage children to think creatively between subjects.

Year of Science and Design Technology |
|
|
The vast loneliness
up here is awe-inspiring and it makes you realize what you have back on Earth. The Earth from here
is a grand oasis in the big vastness of space. Jim Lovell (NASA astronaut, 1968)
In the 21st century, science and technology will
increasingly dominate our lives. There will be many challenges, not only
environmental, but ethical and moral as well. Science and Design and Technology
are key subjects for all children in helping them live in an increasingly
demanding world.
2009 is a special year for science. It will be the
200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth and the 150th anniversary of the
publication of ‘On the Origin of Species’. It will also be the 400th anniversary of
Galileo's use of a telescope to study the night sky and 40 years since the
first moon landing.

|
|
|
Global issues are part of children's lives in ways that are very
different from when we were children. Television, the Internet, international
sport and increased opportunities for travel all bring the wider world into everyone's
daily life. Our society today is enhanced by people, cultures, languages,
religions, art, technologies, music and literature originating in many
different parts of the world.
