The Middle Years curriculum is designed to ensure our students successfully transition into secondary school through the development of effective study skills and encouraging independence and increased responsibility for their own learning.
Our focus in the middle years of learning is on student literacy and numeracy, ensuring the necessary foundations that all learners need for success. The curriculum is robust and vibrant, personalised to the needs of all our learners in every classroom.
