Throughout the School the emphasis is placed on pupils gaining an understanding of the world around us and developing the skills of research, investigation and analysis.

The children learn about the local area in order to compare and contrast their environment and lives to other regions in the UK and the rest of the world.

 

Human and Physical aspects of the world are considered and the children look at the importance of sustainable development and environmental problems from local to global scales.

This is achieved through the use of a variety of teaching resources, including ICT, and a range of different teaching styles. The curriculum is enhanced by field visits and the Year 6 residential trip to the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire holds many fond memories for former SPS pupils.
