By placing children at the centre of the learning experience we encourage them to investigate, discover and to learn how to harness their abun-dant natural curiosity. There is a strong emphasis

for them to learn to work independently, and in groups whilst making use of the latest ICT tools available.

PrimarySchool

At primary school level learning often takes place through cross-curricular topic based study. Reading, Writing and Maths are tied together with elements of Science, Geography, History, ICT and Art. For example, pupils gain

appreciation of a History topic, such as Ancient Egypt, by writing an instructional text on the process of making a mummy in Literacy and crafting their Egyptian plaster masks in an Art lesson.
