Our school curriculum has a few fundamental beliefs:
- Learning is about making connections. We ensure that all learners are given the opportunity to see the ‘Big Picture’.
- Relaxed alertness, not stress, is the best state for learning.
- Every learner has a portfolio of intelligence. It is our job to discover in which ways each learner is ‘smart’
- Children access learning in diverse ways: A child may learn best through seeing, hearing or through doing or combination of all there styles.
- Time needs to be created for complex thinking time - “slow thinking” time.
- Good health is important for effective learning.
The IPC programme are inquiry-based, thematic approach, which encourages the learning of subjects through a central idea. This provides excellent opportunities for learners to make meaningful connections and form new knowledge with deep understanding. Our primary school programme also incorporates the UK National Curriculum and we supplement the Maths learning goals where we feel it is necessary.
