Junior School Curriculum

The National Curriculum provides the basis for the Junior School's broad curriculum, which focuses on developing excellence in literacy and numeracy, whilst affording every boy the opportunity to discover his own individual strengths across many subject areas. Preparation for the ever-changing modern technological world is paramount and ICT underpins teaching in all subject areas. Expectations are set above the national average for boys and close monitoring by staff through regular assessment ensures that each boy's progress is closely monitored and that every boy is suitably challenged and guided to maximise his potential. The curriculum also provides a firm foundation in preparing boys for life in the senior school. Regular homework activities also help to extend and reinforce learning and allow boys the opportunity to explore areas of interest and to deepen knowledge and understanding. Termly trips, visits and school-based activities also stimulate boys' interests and enrich the curriculum further.
