THE REVISED NI CURRICULUM

The school follows the requirements of the Revised NI Curriculum.  When planning our curriculum we take into account the uniqueness of each child and his/her individual needs.  Our aim is to offer each child a broadly based and appropriately balanced curriculum.  We aim to give every child the opportunity to experience success in learning and to achieve as high a standard as possible.

STAGES OF THE PRIMARY CURRICULUM

Foundation Stage:    Years 1 and 2

Key Stage 1:             Years 3 and 4

Key Stage 2:            Years 5, 6 and 7

STRUCTURE OF THE NI PRIMARY CURRICULUM

The curriculum for the three stages is set out in six Areas of Learning. Although they are set out separately, where appropriate, we integrate learning across the six areas to make relevant connections for the children.

The Revised NI Curriculum encompasses a wide range of subjects, drawn from the following subject areas:

• LANGUAGE AND LITERACY

• THE WORLD AROUND US

• MATHEMATICS AND NUMERACY

• PHYSICAL EDUCATION

• THE ARTS

• PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING

Communication, Mathematics and ICT are used right across the curriculum
