Though our child centred approach to the Humanities Curriculum our programme of Creative curriculum and homework helps to encourage deeper and wider engagement with the subject area, inspiring independent research. We strive to ensure that the curriculum enthuses, engages, enriches, and motivates, developing in each child, curiosity, and excitement of the world in which they live.
