The Leapfrog Curriculum
​
​
Our Approach
Our goal is to ensure all children make progress. We strive to build on what they already know and prepare them for the next stage of education. We’ve developed a bespoke curriculum that focuses on children’s interests and narrows any gaps. We aim to lay the foundations of having positive attitudes towards learning and give children the skills and motivation to be life-long learners ready for the modern world.
