Curriculum
The School’s curriculum is closely allied to the National Curriculum. However, as an independent school we feel that these guidelines are restrictive and we extend them where necessary to create the all-round education that makes the school unique. The core subjects for our KS2 pupils are English, Mathematics and Science. The curriculum is broad and balanced and gives every child the opportunity to produce work to their best ability. Allied to this is regular assessment that helps the staff to monitor progress and keep an eye on the relevance and development of the subject matter.

Things to note
School trips
The school arranges a variety of trips for each class, and an annual whole school trip. On entry to the school, parents are asked to sign the off-site permission slip, allowing us to take your child out on a wide variety of trips. Due to the small class sizes at Holme Court they are able to support the Curriculum with regular dynamic and exciting trips.
Careers Education and Guidance
Careers education is a vital part of the curriculum. It includes a work experience programme, which is organised and run by the school. There are links with local industry, community and training providers. Further details can be obtained from School.The Careers Adviser, Anita Laws, supports the 14-19 Careers Curriculum and attends the Annual Reviews for pupils from Year 9. The Careers Service makes an invaluable contribution to the transition planning process from Key Stage 4. There is also close liaison with the Health and Adults Services and further education providers, for example through regular transition external agency meetings.
