The curriculum offered takes the best from the National Curriculum, covers the syllabus required for independent schools entrance exams, provides a strong emphasis on the arts, and develops a strong work ethic emphasising independent learning skills. We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum. There is considerable concentration on reading, writing and mathematics. Children work within broad topics which draw on history, geography and science and incorporate all areas of the curriculum; providing a holistic approach to education that enables vital connections to be made so that children’s understanding of the world can be fully developed.
All children are offered appropriate teaching for preparation for entrance examinations at 11+, including tuition in verbal and non-verbal reasoning, examination techniques and interview techniques.
We use Shoreditch Power League, Mile End Stadium and Bunhill Park for sporting activities. All children participate in physical activity each day. As well as sports, this may be dance, gymnastics or drama in our lovely playground or in the hall.
Children learn Spanish from Reception onwards and Latin in Year 6
