Prospectus : Curriculum

Early literacy and numeracy are very important and the traditional academic subjects form the core curriculum. The combined sciences form an increasingly important part of the timetable as the children grow older and the use of computers is introduced from an early age. Expression in all forms of communication is encouraged with classes having lessons in art, design technology, music and drama. Physical exercise and games are also part of the School Day.   Devonshire House encourages a wide range of interests both within the School Day and outside the normal curriculum. Extra Subjects Individual music lessons, speech  and communication, fencing, judo, ballet, chess and mandarin are also on offer. Clubs Teachers also run after school clubs.  These vary from term to term and include sports clubs, art and craft, design technology, 'parliamentary' debating and many others.
