- Challenging academics: our Maths Mastery curriculum and creative English programme develop critical thinking skills, fostering astute and perceptive learners
BUILDING A STRONG FOUNDATION
- Seamless transition: we understand the importance of a smooth transition from Reception to Year 1. Our teachers build on existing knowledge and social skills, ensuring a supportive learning environment
- Core skills focus: reading, writing, and numeracy form the backbone of our curriculum. We utilise a dynamic blend of classroom and specialist teaching to ensure strong foundational skills

BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
- Luceat Programme: this programme is designed to spark curiosity, nurture independence, and equip our young learners with crucial life skills
