Teaching, Curriculum and Assessment:
What truly sets us apart is our unique environment. Nestled within an expansive forest setting and steeped in history through our remarkable buildings, we seamlessly combine tradition with modernity. Every classroom is equipped with 21st-century technology, supporting our dynamic and enriching curriculum, Cornerstones Maestro A Choice of Curriculum Models from Cornerstones Education. This approach enables our pupils to achieve consistently high standards, with outcomes in reading, writing, and mathematics exceeding national averages year after year.
