We prioritise the importance of pupils having the skills to communicate effectively when working together and collaborate to solve problems. We strive to ensure all pupils have the self confidence to lead and listen to others, ready for their future lives.
Our bespoke PSHCE and SRE curriculum is tailored to meet the needs of our children. We teach many strategies to support pupils to look after their own – and others’ -wellbeing and maintain their safety in many situations.
We believe in the importance of developing imagination and confidence when speaking and we foster this through regular drama experiences which influence our writing. These sessions also allow our pupils to become immersed in experiences -helping them understand differing perspectives and develop empathy for the world around them.

We celebrate diversity in many forms – making sure that all pupils understand the importance of being proudly unique and recognising this in each other. This helps us maintain a nurturing and caring culture, constantly modelled by all adults.
We spend time observing and evaluating in detail… so that our pupils understand the importance of crafting their skills over time to create really beautiful outcomes that they can be justly proud of.
We feel that being curious and engaged helps embed new learning effectively and encourages our pupils to want to know more. We use a range of strategies and techniques to keep learning fun, interesting and exciting.
Our pupils learn about inspirational figures from around the world – both current and from the past. This helps them consider their own aspirations and the ways that society has been influenced by the attributes and messages of significant people.
Regular opportunities that help our pupils learn how to collaborate and problem solve together equip them with skills that they will use for life. This encourages positive, resilient attitudes to overcoming problems together.
Practical experiences that help our pupils develop skills for life and try new things are woven throughout our curriculum so they learn more about the cultures and opportunities that could be open to them after their schooling.
We conduct regular communities of enquiry in our classrooms, helping our pupils debate important topic. Together we consider the opinions of others and encourage our pupils to confidently and articulately explain their own thoughts in coherent and respectful ways.

Developing confidence in using a range of technical vocabulary helps our pupils develop their ability to explain effectively in different contexts. Establishing what our pupils already know and understand, helps us make sure that teachers plan and deliver work that is appropriate, addresses misconceptions and challenges our pupils to learn and understand new things. This also helps them cement the theories and concepts they have learnt about to create a platform for further, complex study.
