The breadth of our non-core curriculum (wider learning) is designed with three goals in mind:

• to give pupils appropriate experiences to develop as confident, responsible citizens;
• to provide rich ‘cultural capital’;
• to provide a coherent, structured, academic curriculum that leads to a sustained learning for all and a greater depth.

High-quality activities and experiences are an essential part of school life. They provide opportunities to enrich and deepen children’s learning beyond the curriculum and are an excellent medium to foster good relationships between staff, pupils and parents. They develop children’s social skills by providing a forum of interaction between children across different ages and schools.  These opportunities are matched to our staff’s expertise and interests and make the most of the resources we have in school. We are constantly striving to improve our extended curriculum and, to this end, we are in the process of remodelling our provision for the children through the year.
