Learning Programmes

We work hard as a team to achieve success and to make learning enjoyable for our children across all areas of learning. As professionals, we respond to the changing needs of our children and their families.

We encourage all parents to be part of their child’s learning and aim to have open and supportive relationships between teacher and parents. It is about children, teachers and parents working together to set goals and work towards shared outcomes for our learners.

Mathematics

Children in year 3 to year 8 follow the Pr1me Maths programme. Children purchase a book at the beginning of the year for practice activities that are related to the group learning they take part in with the teacher. Pr1me covers five strands of math across six year levels. These are: Numbers and Operations, Measurement, Geometry, Data Analysis and Algebra. Pr1me views mathematical learning as a journey that everyone is capable of.

Accelearted Learning
