What will your child learn in Primary class?

The students in our primary class are taught in accordance with the English National curriculum (ENC). To help our student’s transition from the Early Years curriculum to the English National curriculum we have incorporated some of the early years elements in our classroom such as role-play, sand, maths, and creative area. This gives out students the opportunities to develop their learning independently and to further enhance their skills.
