Curriculum
The school curriculum is underpinned by the values that we hold at our school. The curriculum is the means by which the school achieves its objective of educating children in the knowledge, skills and understanding that they need in order to lead fulfilling and productive lives.In the Lower School, we follow the National Programmes of Study wherever they can but adapt the subject delivery to engage the students through individual interests.At Key Stage 4 and above, they tailor the curriculum to meet the needs of each individual student. If a student wishes to take up a course that they are unable to provide in school, we can work with other providers and the local colleges to try and meet that request.

Enrichment Activities
Alongside the academic elements, we endeavour to provide the students with a wide range of extra-curricular activities and experiences. We have a go at everything from a trip to the seaside, Treasure Hunts and football at the park to regular visits to Saxon House, residential visits to Primrose Valley and camping trips to Beamish. They’ve even sent people to sail on a tall ship for a few days! They feel it is important to provide the students with real life experiences and help them build their social skills and self confidence in as wide a range of ways as possible. They also like to celebrate successes wherever possible.
