Our PSHE and RSE curriculum promotes personal, social, and health education, and helps every child to develop a sense of self-awareness, self-regulation, and social responsibility. Our computing curriculum develops digital literacy and computational thinking skills, while our PE curriculum promotes physical activity, fitness, and teamwork. Our MFL curriculum introduces children to modern foreign languages, and helps them to develop basic language skills and cultural awareness.
