The combination of breadth and depth of study is at the heart of the School’s philosophy, ensuring that students experience the full breadth of the curriculum in and out of the classroom. Our personalized learning approach tailors our curriculum to suit the learning styles and aspirations for our children. Music, PE, Swimming and Languages are taught by specialist subject teachers. The emphasis in Primary remains on encouraging students to explore beyond the formal curriculum and continue to develop a true love of learning.
