Polam Oaks provides a rich learning environment for boys and girls. The curriculum whilst preparing children for entry to the local independent preparatory schools, also provides them with the very best in Early Years Education.  They will follow a broad and balanced curriculum from their first days in the nursery through to the age of 8 years.

We aim:

• To provide a broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated curriculum.
• To provide appropriate learning opportunities to include all pupils/students.
• To promote partnership between pupil, parent/carer, teacher and community.
• To ensure continuity and progression within the school and between phases of education.
• To foster teaching styles which will offer and encourage a variety of relevant learning opportunities.
• To encourage a respect for the school and its environment so that learning is a positive and pleasurable experience for all.
• To deal with all curriculum related complaints made by parents/carers in line with agreed procedures.

We believe that the curriculum should aim:

• To help pupils develop lively, enquiring minds, an ability to question and argue rationally and an ability to apply themselves to tasks and physical skills.
• To help pupils acquire understanding, knowledge and key skills relevant to school, adult life and employment in a fast-changing world.
• To help pupils to use language and number effectively.
• To help pupils develop personal moral values, respect for religious values and tolerance of other races, religions and ways of life.
• To help pupils understand the world in which they live and the inter-dependence of individuals, groups and nations.
• To help pupils to appreciate human achievements and aspirations.
