The Curriculum
At DCPS we aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum, which is largely based on the National Curriculum but which also extends well beyond its boundaries.
The curriculum offers not only the full range of academic subjects but also a wide variety of physical and creative experiences through Art, Design Technology, Drama, Music, Physical Education, Swimming and Games. Apart from the normal quota of National Curriculum subjects, all boys begin the study of French in Year 3 and Latin in Year 6.
The school’s curriculum is designed to challenge and enrich boys appropriately as well as to prepare them for transfer to Senior Schools, whether through the London Day School examinations, Common Entrance or Scholarship examinations. Some setting is used in Mathematics, English, French and Latin and banding from Year 5 in order to provide the most appropriate learning environment for each boy.
