4C4 LIFE - CURRICULUM VISION

We have highlighted four key values which we believe should be at the heart of learning and be at the heart of our curriculum. Those ‘drivers’ are:

Collaboration
Curiosity

For each ‘driver’, we have considered the positive reasons for it to be at the heart of our curriculum, in conjunction with the consequences for its absence.
