The curriculum is arranged to help us achieve two core school
objectives:
1. An all round education with a commitment to the highest
standards of academic achievement;
2. To equip pupils with a breadth of academic skills and
knowlege.
Within the curriculum, the aims for all boys must be:
- fluency in, and accurate use and understanding of,
English;
- skill in numeracy; in problem-solving; and proficiency in
mathematical and scientific methods and investigations;
- proficiency in at least one foreign language, with the
opportunity to attain knowledge and understanding of at least one
other language, modern or classical;
- an appreciation of, and development of ability in, the creative
and expressive arts;
- proficiency in the use of ICT;
- proficiency in the knowledge of concepts, issues and
applications in history, geography and technology; a knowledge and
appreciation of humankind, our heritage, human achievements and
aspirations; and a concern for environmental and ecological
issues;
- the development of the coordination of body and mind;
- a training in personal, inter-personal and social
responsibility; the understanding and development of a respect for
religious and moral values, for other people and, above all, for
oneself;
- the development of independent thought and study, and the
active encouragement of a sense of curiosity and a spirit of
enquiry and adventure;
- the provision of a wide variety of contexts, both within the
School and beyond, that encourages the fulfilment of these
aims.
