Here at Cheam Fields, we strongly believe that a child’s personal development is as important as their academic progress. For this reason, we wholeheartedly embrace the personal learning goals from the International Primary Curriculum which help children reflect on their own behaviours and attitudes supporting the preparation of our pupils for their future lives.
