Our Primary School is a place where children grow and learn through play, curiosity, and imagination \u2014 within a structured and organized environment that helps them learn how to learn.
The daily program follows the national curriculum but enriches each subject with experiential and creative methods. Traditional tools meet children\u2019s ideas, turning lessons into dynamic and engaging experiences.

Our primary classes include up to 22 children. For English, Music, Theatre and Visual Arts, we work in smaller groups of 10\u201311. Small group work helps children organise themselves, take initiative, collaborate, and navigate disagreements with growing independence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t

We observe children throughout the day, in lessons, during play, at lunch, and in the garden. We support them as they develop strategies for everyday challenges: what to do if someone takes their ball, how to respond when they feel angry, how to ask for help when they don\u2019t understand something. We notice their interests, highlight them, and help children explore them in depth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t
