At Sayes Court, we believe in developing a breadth of skills and knowledge that nourish a strong sense of self-belief so that both our staff and pupils can achieve their own greatness.

The Sayes Court curriculum provides children with the opportunity to explore a series of precisely planned, sequenced and interconnected moments that ensure they explore what it is to learn and grow while gaining a deep understanding in all subjects. We believe that getting to know every individual pupil and their interests enables us to develop the children's strengths inside and outside of the classroom.
