La Garenne Primary School

La Garenne offers an exciting and creative curriculum blending traditional elements with innovative teaching, designed to broaden the mind and feed children’s thirst for knowledge. We follow the International Primary Curriculum alongside the British National Curriculum from Early Years through to the end of Key Stage 2.
Topics include Maths, Science, Literacy, Technology, History, Geography, Music, PE, Art and Society, as well as language classes in French and English. Our primary school children have access to carefully designed play areas which promote free play, challenge them physically and build self-confidence.

Key Stage 1

During years 1 and 2, the children are taught by their dedicated class teacher for the majority of subjects, with the addition of specialist teaching for Art, Music, PE and French. Classrooms are light, airy, spacious and well equipped including interactive whiteboards. Outdoor learning is encouraged in our safe and beautiful surroundings.

Key Stage 2

From years 3 to 6, we encourage responsibility and independence, as well as supporting our children to become good role models across the school. We set high expectations for behaviour and academic work. Differentiated lessons pinpoint children’s strengths and weaknesses, and allow teachers to see quickly if children need extra support.
