Curriculum For Ages 2 — 16 years Old
We follow a curriculum, which will enable all children to make maximum progress towards national standards and beyond. A standard assessment test is used based on content from both the national curriculum and SATs. Internal assessments are used to evaluate the children's attainment. Information on the academic results undertaken in the school can be obtained from the school office.
Children who achieve above the expected level are given further opportunity to extend their knowledge, understanding and skills.
Early emphasis is placed on literacy and numeracy together with the development of spiritual, personal and social skills. The curriculum is delivered through the traditional and Montessori methodology. The small class structure (14 — 1) enables daily assessment of each child's work and attitude. Apart from the core subjects of English, Math’s and Science, the curriculum includes other Humanity subjects like The Arts, Geography, History, IT, Reasoning, Music and Personal, Social and Bible Studies.
