The core subjects
English: Pupils are taught to speak clearly and confidently, write creatively and accurately and to read a wide range of good literature. They thus acquire a good range of skills and a love of the subject.
Maths: A love of maths is encouraged at an early stage. As well as basic numeracy, pupils are taught to think creatively and develop their mental agility through challenging and enjoyable mathematical problems. As well as becoming numerate, they can be great thinkers and problem solvers.
Science: Children are encouraged to ask questions about the creation and use their powers of observation to explore the physical world. They learn the basic procedure for carrying out scientific investigation, often accompanied by a sense of awe and wonder.

History and Geography complete an all round balanced curriculum for full development of the mental faculty. School trips are undertaken as a vital part of enhancing and enriching the pupils' understanding of these subjects.
