The Junior School is able to offer a broad and effective curriculum which is aligned closely to the requirements of the National Curriculum. Particular attention is paid to developing the skills of literacy and numeracy in the core subjects. In addition to English and Mathematics the pupils study Science, History, Geography, R.E., Craft, Design and Technology (C.D.T.) and Information Technology (I.T.). French is taught from Year 3 onwards.

Teaching is class-based and is a blend of traditional teaching methods and group learning through investigation and discovery. As well as the academic subjects our children have specialist lessons in Music, Art, PE, Games and Swimming on their weekly timetable.

Homework is set every day for pupils in the Junior Department in order to build on and consolidate work that has been covered in class. This can be completed at school during supervised prep sessions and is expected to take between thirty and forty-five minutes. Key Stage Two National Curriculum Tests are taken.
