Years 1 and 2 follow the Key Stage 1 Curriculum although there is the freedom to interpret this in many imaginative and creative ways. Learning is through first hand experience wherever possible enhanced by visits to local places of interest. Science, history and geography are themed into topics such as 'The Seaside' or 'All About Me'. Reading, writing and numeracy are essential skills and these are given appropriate priority. All children are encouraged to contribute their own ideas and all effort is valued.
Year 3 follow the Key Stage 2 Curriculum although there is the freedom to interpret this in many imaginative and creative ways.

Reading, writing and numeracy are essential skills and these are given appropriate priority. All children are encouraged to contribute their own ideas and all effort is valued.
