What Will You Learn?

Year 6 Evacuee Drama Workshop
We have undertaken a major review of what our children learn over the last few years. We have tried to develop a creative curriculum that is focused on the needs of our learners and so we have shifted the emphasis from content to how our children learn and have provided real consequences for their learning. An exciting launch for each project motivates the children and skills based activities develop the children’s life competences as well as their knowledge and understanding in all curriculum areas. Each project culminates in an out come that gives a real purpose to their learning. Examples of this are setting up a museum
to show understanding of life in Roman Britain and
organising and hosting a harvest supper to raise money
for Water Aid.

Bike Breakfast

We are committed to educating children to have healthy lifestyles and we are proud to have achieved our Healthy School Mark, Outstanding Travel Planning Award and Bronze Bike IT award. We encourage children to walk or cycle to school and make sure there are plenty of opportunities for exercise even running a healthy eating club. The curriculum is tailored to  ‘excite, stimulate and skill you to face any future’, and by the end of their time with us your child will have experienced an exciting, broad and balanced curriculum and they will have had the opportunity to enjoy a range of colourful extra curricular activities.

Indoor Athletics Champions

We have a specialist PE teacher to develop the children's games, athletic and gymnastic skills as well as swimming in the lower school. The school organises competitive inter-house events and enters, and wins, lots of local competitions in various sports. The children are encouraged to develop a team spirit and we promote good sportsmanship.The children in years 3 and 4 have the opportunity to swim at Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre, our local pool.

 

 

African Drummers

We also have a specialist music teacher who takes classes across the school. In addition, we provide opportunities for children to sing in the choir, play the African drums and perform in front of an audience.
