Education Reform Act i.e. the syllabus follows that agreed
by Newcastle LEA - reflecting Christian tradition and other
principal religions.
l
Science and PHSE together, integrate sex education into
their programme of work.

Wherever possible we seek to integrate multi -cultural and
equal opportunities throughout the curriculum and to full
integrate pupils with special educational needs into the life
of the school.

Citizenship/PHSE is taught as a subject in all year groups
and is also integrated into other areas of the curriculum.

We believe that pupils’ abilities should be recognised and
valued. Appreciation of their achievements makes an
important contribution to their development and provides
a good role model for other pupils to emulate.
l
The Gifted and Talented programme allows us to identify
able children and attempt to extend their skills, not only
across the school curriculum, but also in the form of extra
curricular workshops.
