We place great importance on the curriculum that develops the whole student through pathways
of learning. These pathways are developed specifically to meet the individual needs of our
students and align them with the goals set out in their EHCPs. Through our core values, we
foster an environment where the emotional, physical, academic, social, moral, spiritual and
cultural development of each individual student is considered.
Religious Education is taught by all teachers, and supported by our Catholic Ethos Advocate and
the Diocese of Westminster. Parents and children of Catholic faith can be prepared to receive
their First Holy Communion and the Sacrament of Confirmation. We celebrate many local and
national initiatives including CAFOD and BBC Children in Need - all faiths and beliefs are
celebrated through our curriculum as part of our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.
Our wrap around 24 hour curriculum ensures that knowledge and skills are replicated and
transferred outside of the classroom - whether that be in the home or out in the community.
