Learning to read, write and calculate is guaranteed at SWB. We underwrite this guarantee with fail-safe programmes to ensure basic competence in literacy and numeracy.

All our younger children learn Cursive Script, and Jolly Phonics ensures robust early reading and writing skills. This is followed by Accelerated Reader which keeps our older children hooked on books, and Accelerated Maths which gives all children the practice they need in KS2 for a secure and thorough grounding in numeracy.

Our children are tested and progress tracked every half term, and given personalised intervention if they are falling behind.

Our SATs results are consistently above national expectations for attainment and progress.

We also believe children learn best through active engagement with the world around them.

The International Primary Curriculum provides rich learning experiences through thematic topics, designed to inspire, engage and delight the children, and provoke high levels of enquiry. You can view our two-yearly topic cycle here. We go on numerous trips and outings, our performing arts are breath-taking, and the classrooms and public areas of the school are delightful and ever-changing galleries of the children's art-work.
