Special Programmes

We are particularly proud of our fully staffed and computerised Library. All students visit the Library regularly.

Children with special learning needs are identified very early and given programmes appropriate to their need. This may involve individual or small group assistance. Limited funding is received from the Ministry to support these programmes.

We run a number of extension programmes, across the school, to cater for the students who show talent in various curriculum areas. As well as in-class extension, withdrawal programmes are organised to cater for special ability students.

Students who are non English speaking receive extra support within the classroom setting and through specialist small group instruction. This assists with their English language acquisition. Click on the link below to see what our students have been up to:
