Although the school year is formally broken into three terms, for the curriculum we use four terms; this is for planning and assessment purposes. The curricular terms are as follows:

Term 1 August – October (mid-term holiday) 8 weeks

Term 2 October – December 8 weeks

Term 3 January – March 11 weeks

Term 4 April – June 11 weeks

If you are unable to find the information you need about your child’s curriculum or you have further questions, please contact:

· Your child’s Class Teacher

· Mr Rhona Watt (Head of Nursery)

· Mrs Alison Lydon (Senior Deputy Head)

It is exceptionally difficult for us to separate the curricular areas as so much of the children’s learning is interlinked but please see below for an insight into some of the experiences the children may have within each curricular area.
