Curriculum Overview
Through our ‘world of pathways’, our aim is to unlock the potential of all students, providing learners with a hyper-personalised and future-proofed education that is fully inclusive and which delivers high performance for all.
We offer a bespoke, truly unique and aspirational curriculum for all learners – one that combines the best of the Early Years Framework (EYFS) and National Curriculum for England (NCfE), underpinning our overarching framework of the International Baccalaureate, leading seamlessly into the Middle Years Programme (MYP).
