The Primary school caters for children aged 6 to 11 and covers classes 1 through to 6. Class sizes are generally between 20 and 24. In addition to literacy and numeracy, the school focuses on language acquisition and creative activities in Music and Art. Sport features prominently, to counterbalance the lack of physical activity in the classroom.
Classes begin at 8.30 and finish at 12.55. From class 3, children are offered voluntary afternoon activities, and from class 5 there are afternoon classes twice a week until 14.50 or 15.30 in addition to the afternoon activities.
On Fridays the primary school closes at 12.55 p.m. However, afternoon supervision (crèche and supervised studies), tennis classes and music lessons are available.
For primary or kindergarten children who must wait in the school (i.e. for hockey, fencing, tennis, music lessons etc.) afternoon care or supervised studies is obligatory to ensure supervision. For more information on supervised studies please click here.
