Primary School

Building Learning Power & Rights Respecting Schools
As part of its Strategic Plan, the school is developing two programmes that are designed to encourage children to become more engaged in their learning, to think about how they learn best-Building Learning Power. The Rights Respecting Schools programme encourages the children to think about their place in the world, what they can do to become more involved and responsible citizens of the world and their local community, especially the school.
