Curriculum
Learning is the key purpose of our school. Lifelong Learning enables children to aspire, achieve their dreams and contribute much in their futures to our world.
An effective curriculum today is one which provides the most exciting engaging learning opportunities which are not only meaningfully linked but which develop young minds through international mindedness and global awareness. It is a curriculum which provides support for teachers and others to develop children’s learning with a range of assessment and evaluative opportunities. It enables staff and parents to enjoy learning alongside pupils: discovery enthusiasm excitement and energising ideas enable all to learn together with learning barriers removed! 
The International Primary Curriculum (IPC) is influenced by two ideas. The key concepts of independence and interdependence which underpin what it is to have an international mind-set and the lessons learnt as a results of years of research into the brain and the development of brain-friendly learning and teaching strategies.
By integrating subjects with a rigorous underpinning of expected outcomes of learning at age related levels, the IPC provides rich learning opportunities within a brain friendly and international curriculum.
IPC has four main aims:
To help children learn the subject knowledge, skills and understandings they need to become aware of the world around them
To help children develop the personal skills they need to take an active part in the world throughout their lives
To help children develop an international mindset alongside their awareness of their own nationality
To do each of these in ways which take into account up to date research into how children learn and how they can be encouraged to be life-long learners
Learning at our school will continue to flourish with the freedom and creativity which inspiringly IPC brings. We will embellish mould and make it our own as we continue to deliver in as innovative ways as possible the new literacy and numeracy frameworks.
Professional sharing pedagogically speaking is key to becoming an Intelligent School. Learning in an Intelligent School is about a continual quest to do the job better and to understand and appreciate the difference you can make every single day to the learning life experiences of the children in our care!
Every single day matters… Our children are entitled to the very best learning opportunities possible. Our value-added must prepare our children for real life with awareness of the responsibility that this brings, whilst inspiring them through fun filled experiential learning with high expectations in terms of achievement by all.
LEARNING TOGETHER, FREE TO FLY is our vision.
IPC will play a major part in our continuing realisation of this vision…coupled with our drive for continuous improvement due to our fundamental belief:
‘Time in school is precious and for the children cannot be repeated.’
