Specialist enrichment
Throughout each term we welcome teachers from Bedales Senior to explore subjects such as Physics, Maths, Philosophy, Religious Education, Economics and Politics. Children have found themselves launching rockets and studying astronomy. Visitors from other industries and professions also visit the school to support the children's learning experience.
Literacy and languages
Books are a cornerstone of our approach, opening worlds of imagination and inspiring a deep love of reading and storytelling. Oracy is highly valued, with regular opportunities for children to speak, perform and present their ideas with confidence. All children learn Spanish, with French introduced from Year 2, reflecting our belief in the importance of learning modern languages.
We believe the world beyond the classroom is a powerful teacher. Educational visits are an essential part of our curriculum, offering rich, first-hand experiences that deepen understanding, spark curiosity and bring learning vividly to life. Whether exploring a museum, meeting an expert, or walking through our own beautiful grounds, children build knowledge through real-world encounters. Regular outdoor activities not only connect children to the rhythms of the seasons and local wildlife, but also support their physical development and nurture wellbeing.
