The Primary Phase comprises of Early Years, Lower Primary and Upper Primary teams, and the age range is 4 - 11 years.
In the Early Years Foundation Stage the curriculum is designed around the six areas of e.g. development
Our experienced staff support the pupils to learn through multi sensory, personalised learning opportunities in all the six areas.
Pupils are encouraged to engage in structured indoor and outdoor play.
In the Lower Primary the curriculum builds on the learning of the Early Years Foundation Stage and includes the content of the Key Stage 1 National Curriculum delivered in motivating, thematic contexts. There is a focus on developing basic Literacy and Numeracy skills and early reading skills such as phonics.
Alongside this, social and emotional skills are developed and promoted, as are the essential skills for life leading to our pupils becoming independent, healthy and confident individuals.
The Upper Primary Curriculum ensures continuity and progression from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2. There is a continued focus on developing Literacy and Numeracy skills and a thematic, cross curricular approach for teaching Science, Humanities, Design Technology, Art and Music.
There is a strong focus on Personal, Social, and Health Education and Citizenship encouraging our pupils to look after their environment and become responsible citizens.
