The School Curriculum
The school curriculum has been designed and developed in accordance with the demands of the National Curriculum 2000. It has the following aims:-
  1. To help pupils develop, through a broad and balanced curriculum, lively, enquiring and creative minds, the confidence to question and the ability to debate rationally

  2. To help pupils acquire knowledge and skills relevant to adult life and employment in a rapidly changing world

  3. To help pupils develop an appreciation of education as a life-long and enjoyable process by giving them challenging, stimulating and enjoyable experiences

  4. To help pupils gain understanding and respect for religious and moral values and appreciation and tolerance of other groups, races, religions and ways of life and points of view

  5. To help pupils develop a concern for the quality of their environment and to understand the world in which they live and work, and the interdependence of individuals, groups and nations

  6. To help pupils, through hard work, commitment and self-discipline to fulfil their potential by developing an awareness and appreciation of human achievement

  7. To help pupils in the development of their own individuality and independence, enabling them to discover and recognise their own strengths and limitations and set their goals realistically
