The Importance of a Broad Curriculum

The broad curriculum at The Mead ensures that children develop a deep understanding of the world, aiding their growth in various areas and enabling them to discover their interests early on. During this fundamental stage of childhood, they uncover their talents and preferred learning styles, reinforcing their foundational development with diverse skills and personal growth.

At The Mead, we offer a broad and dynamic curriculum led by specialist teachers in subjects such as STEM, Drama, Music, PE, History, Geography, Maths and RE. Alongside this, children can explore a diverse range of clubs that change each term—ranging from Explorers and Running Club to Wool Craft and String Group and so much more. With something to spark every child’s interest, we provide endless opportunities for them to discover new passions and develop their skills beyond the classroom.
