Primary Education
Our primary education programme delivers a broad, balanced curriculum aligned with national standards while integrating Christian values. Children develop core academic skills alongside spiritual and moral understanding through subjects like English, mathematics, science, and religious education. The programme fosters critical thinking and creativity through enquiry-based learning linked to local heritage.
Nursery Provision
Our nursery provision offers age-appropriate learning experiences for 2-5 year olds, focusing on foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and social development. The curriculum incorporates play-based activities and 'Awe and Wonder' moments to stimulate curiosity while preparing children for structured learning in a nurturing Christian environment.
SEND Support
The STRIDE programme provides specialist support for pupils with autism spectrum disorder, following TEACCH principles. Small-class settings, individualised learning plans, and sensory opportunities enable children to progress at their own pace while participating in mainstream school activities where appropriate.

PATHS (Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies) develops social-emotional skills through weekly lessons and cross-curricular integration. Children learn self-regulation, conflict resolution, and empathy-building techniques that support positive relationships and academic success within a Christian framework.

Programmes in history, geography, science, and the arts incorporate local context while promoting British values and equality principles across all year groups.
