The boys in Key Stage 2 enjoy a challenging and broad curriculum which is language rich and boy friendly. Literacy and numeracy form a strong basis to the curriculum and boys are taught at their own level with additional support being given to those boys needing consolidation whilst challenge is provided for the more able boys through differentiated activities and extension work.

Where possible the curriculum follows a thematic approach with Foundation subjects being taught by specialist teachers. Activities are planned using a multi sensory approach and our boys respond particularly well to a more kinaesthetic and practical style of delivery. Work is further enhanced through trips and visits in the local area and further afield. Special importance is placed on the standard of recorded work and we expect them to feel proud of the work they produce.

The boy's formal curriculum is supplemented through music, drama and physical education. Our Key Stage 2 boys enjoy a total of four hours of sport each week taken by our sports co-ordinator and a number of coaches in tennis, cricket, rugby and swimming. They can further develop their sporting interests and skills through our extensive and varied extra curricular programme.

Boys also enjoy an exciting musical syllabus. Lessons cover all aspects of the National Curriculum for music which is evident in the quality of the productions that are put on during the year. Boys also have the option to develop their skills further through peripatetic teaching in brass, singing and piano.
