• Help pupils to make decisions within an accepted moral code;
• Encourage tolerance and respect for others;
• Promote the ability to work well with others, showing social skills of co-operation and leadership;

• Encourage independent working;
• Develop pupils’ ability to identify and solve problems independently.

The Foundation Phase Curriculum and the Key Stage 2 Curriculum are each co-ordinated by a Curriculum Leader, supported by all the teaching staff working in each of the departments. The role of the Curriculum Leaders is to co-ordinate and monitor the planning and delivery of each subject in the curriculum. The work of the Curriculum Leaders is monitored by the Headteacher and the Curriculum Sub-Committee.
