The Primary section takes children from Year 1 (5-6 years old) to Year 6 (10-11 years old). It operates from 3 buildings that are dedicated to Years 1 & 2, Years 3 & 4 and Years 5 & 6 respectively.
Within these primary buildings, there are specialist teaching rooms for computer studies, music, science and I.T. There are self-contained play areas for each of the primary buildings. Class sizes are small, being limited to 25 children, with some subjects being taught half a class at a time. This ensures individual attention to all children.
Key Stage 1
In the British education system, Key Stage 1 refers to Years 1 to 2.
There are subject co-ordinators for Mathematics, English and Topic at Key Stage 1. In addition to curriculum work there are after school activities for the children. House fun days are organised and each class produces an assembly, which is performed to the children and parents.
Key Stage 2
In the British education system, Key Stage 2 refers to Years 3 to 6.
Schemes of work in Maths and English are established for the work to be covered during each term and letters are sent out at the beginning of each term to inform parents of this work. Topics are covered on a rotational basis. The list of topics by year group is shown in the Topic Grid.
Two classes are timetabled for outside P.E., this enables boys and girls to do swimming separately, and for changing too.
Each week we have an assembly, either teacher led or with classes performing an assembly. During the year we have various other activities, including `Book Week', `Maths Week' and `House Days', with all teachers and classes participating.
