Developing The Whole Child
At Stoke Damerel, we are passionate about the development of the whole child, both as an individual and as a learner. The roots of our curriculum aim to equip children with the skills and attitudes needed to succeed in the 21st century. As a school, we promote the key skills and attitudes below which will help children become life-long learners and succeed in the future. These are embedded in our curriculum and celebrated and developed in all classes and in our wider community.
