Curriculum
Our HeadStart Primary curriculum will guide your children through Key Stage 1 (Years 1-2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6).
Taking its inspiration from the English national curriculum, the HeadStart curriculum provides our Primary pupils with a world class framework to develop their skills in Mathematics, English and Science, as well as Computing, History, Geography, Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) Education, Physical Education (including swimming), Music, Art and Languages. We call it the HeadStart curriculum because we make adaptations to the English national curriculum in order to make our curriculum more engaging, and relevant, for our culturally diverse HeadStart pupils. Our Primary curriculum ensures our pupils are extremely well prepared for continued success in our Secondary school, and beyond.
Please do take the time to look through the additional content contained in the Primary sections of our school website.
You can find more detailed information regarding our HeadStart curriculum in our curriculum booklets which can be found below.
