Learning

Our vision statement says 'Learning is a way of life.' We therefore place great emphasis on children developing the skills and qualities of independent learners, such as enquiring minds, creativity, analytical skills, perseverance, teamwork, resourcefulness and commitment. Whilst a great deal of work goes into providing a safe and stimulating environment for children to learn in, we also strive hard to provide the right blend of support and challenge appropriate to the needs of each child. Our children do not learn in isolation, but together, in partnership both with their peers and with children of different ages. We place a high priority on giving children a firm grounding in the basics, but our curriculum extends well beyond the 'traditional' subjects. We have an extensive enrichment programme, which adds to children's enjoyment of learning.
