Core Subjects

The thematic approach has proven to be an interesting way of covering the National Curriculum's core and foundation subjects. It is not, however, essential to cover all subjects in any one topic. Teachers, when planning their work, ensure that all the required content as laid down by the National Curriculum is taught either through the topic approach or separately on a discrete subject basis.

The school is fortunate in having a number of talented and enthusiastic staff within the curricular areas of information and communication technology, music, art, P.E., and Religious Education. Because of this some teachers prefer to use the teaching strengths of their colleagues and exchange classes for these activities.
