We follow the 2014 National Curriculum for Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2), which sets out the programmes of study that maintained schools are required to teach in each subject.

The core subjects are English, Mathematics and Science. Art and Design, Design and Technology, Geography, History, Physical Education, Religious Education, Computing and Music are also important parts of our curriculum. Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) is another key part of our curriculum, supporting children’s personal, social and emotional development.

For Science, Art and Design, Design and Technology, Geography and History, we follow the Learning Everywhere's Curious City Curriculum. This approach promotes enquiry-led learning, encouraging children to develop curiosity, ask questions and become active, independent learners. To find out more about these subjects, please click on the individual subject areas on the Curriculum page.
