Primary
'Pupils in the primary years develop a sound understanding of the range of subjects covered by the curriculum. They are skilled readers who enjoy reading a wide range of books. In some areas of learning, pupils develop knowledge and understanding that is well beyond the expected levels for their age.'

Ofsted Report, June 2018
The Primary Classes provide a stress free, inspiring educational environment, comprising Lower Primary (aged 5-7), Middle Primary (aged 7-9) and Upper Primary (9-11). Children in Lower and Middle Primary may attend either full or part time.
The classes are limited to a maximum of 12 children attending any one session. In Lower Primary, children need to attend a minimum of 3 days a week. In Middle Primary they must attend for a minimum of 4 days a week and in Upper Primary the majority of children should be attending full time. This ensures a level of continuity and better helps the child to settle quickly into the social environment.
