The curriculum follows the Cambridge Primary pathway, establishing foundational skills in core subjects like English, Mathematics, and Science. The primary campus is equipped with classrooms, a library, and labs for ICT and Science tailored for younger students. Pupils also use the school's shared sports facilities, which include a football field and courts for various games.
