Curriculum and other activities
GRADE 2

There is an interesting and enjoyable curriculum. All pupils in Years 3 to 6 learn French and this is being extended to pupils in Years 1 and 2. There are very good opportunities to develop sporting skills through physical education lessons and the good range of extra¬curricular activities provided. Information and communication technology is well embedded and supports learning across the curriculum. Literacy skills are taught well through a range of subjects, for example, history. Teachers link learning in different subjects to make it more interesting and relevant. Enrichment days and weeks are popular and there is a good range of visits out of school. Visitors to the school also support learning. Year 6 pupils particularly enjoy the challenges they experience on their residential visit. The curriculum meets the full range of needs of pupils from those who need extra help with particular skills to those who are gifted and talented. Links with other local primary schools and the secondary school are good and provide benefits for all pupils.
