WHAT WE Learn and when
We believe that all children should leave school with a firm foundation in literacy, numeracy and communication in addition to a wide range of skills; deep subject knowledge; personal confidence and a passion for learning. As such, MCPA’s EYFS, Aspire and Achieve curricula support children to achieve well whilst developing as individuals
