The School has a justifiable reputation for high academic standards. The curriculum is broad, balanced and challenging and far exceeds the requirements of the National Curriculum. Our excellent facilities and highly qualified staff enable specialist teaching to take place in all year groups. Science, for example, is taught in a well equipped Science Laboratory and subjects such as Music, French, Art and Design Technology are taught by specialist teachers in specialist rooms. This approach provides a stimulating and challenging curriculum in which children thrive. Class sizes are small, with an average of 20 pupils, which allows for a high level of individual attention for each child.
National Curriculum
We offer a challenging curriculum, leading to excellent SAT's results in the National Curriculum Key Stage 2 level. Our Form teachers are responsible for the teaching of English and Maths, and specialist subject teachers provide in-depth classes in additional areas such as Science, Humanities, ICT, Music and Arts. Class sizes are small, to allow the highest level of individual attention.
SATs Results
Our Year 6 pupils in 2007 received outstanding results in the National Curriculum tests in English, maths and science, achieving over twice the national average, and at Level 5, above the Government target level of 4, it takes approximately 18 months for a pupil to move up one level. These were the School's best ever results.
The table below shows a summary of the results:
