Curriculum

Curriculum Vision 

At Sarah Bonnell School we provide a well-designed curriculum that stimulates curiosity and is relevant and appropriate for all students so that they can ‘Be Proud. Aim High. Work Hard. Be Kind. No Excuses’. Lessons, clubs, events and visits are planned and delivered in a way that is closely matched to different learning needs and interests; so that all students can make the best possible progress and enjoy learning.

Our curriculum intends to support and challenge every student to:

AIM HIGH

  • Develop emotional intelligence as a resilient and determined learner.

BE KIND
