Infant & Junior Department
Key Stages 1 & 2 of the National Curriculum
A full and comprehensive range of Infant and Junior subjects are taught which closely follows the National
Curriculum. Pupils are taught French from Year 3.
There are no more than 12 pupils in each year group. A maximum class size of 24 may occur in Key Stage 1
and 2, where two year groups are taught together. Primary teachers are supported by Teacher’s Assistants and
the two year groups are often taught separately. Classes in the Secondary Department are limited to 12 pupils.
Small classes mean that the pupils benefit from the level of individual attention available within the school.
Educational visits such as field studies are integral to the curriculum. Residential visits will be undertaken
from Year 3. Key Stage 1 & 2 SATs are applied at the appropriate times.
Sex Education
Sex education is taught within the Science curriculum and by external agencies in P.S.H.E., starting in Year 6 and conforms to traditional Christian teaching while accepting and respecting that fact that pupils, parents / carers may have differing views.
