Our Curriculum
Our curriculum aims to:
• Widen children’s KNOWLEDGE of the WORLD. We want our children to see themselves as local, national and international citizens.
• Increase children’s VOCABULARY. Words empower children to make sense of the world around them. A wide vocabulary helps them to put their emotions into words, socialise with people, imagine and wonder.
• Develop their CURIOSITY and PASSION FOR LEARNING. These are characteristics of engaged learners.
• Enhance CRITICAL thinking skills. Successful learners compare, analyse, sift, sort and ask perceptive questions.

After a consultation with stakeholders, we decided on two main drivers for our William Davis curriculum and they are: Communication
