Pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are welcomed. They settle quickly because staff understand their individual needs.
Year 3
Our two year long term curriculum plans indicate which subjects are taught in which terms. Over two years, each child has the opportunity to experience the full range of National Curriculum subjects. Staff have pulled together areas of learning from different curriculum subjects which contain similar themes or links. This allows for a more creative and cross curricular approach to learning and encourages children to apply skills in a variety of ways.
