Primary

The Primary School emphasises the basic skills needed for future learning, fosters a spirit of enquiry, challenges and motivates. High standards of behaviour and courtesy, respect for people and property, and a pride in good work are promoted.

The main aim of the Primary School is to encourage children to develop their potential through a balanced curriculum which, while emphasising the basic skills needed for future learning, should also challenge and motivate. The work covered broadly follows the needs of the 5-14 curricular guidelines while maintaining a distinctive Morrison's character. We also recognise the importance of extra-curricular activity and offer a wide variety of musical, sporting, art and drama activities to enhance the children's experience.

The Primary School is split into three distinct areas but they allow for continuity and progression to take place as the children move up the school. Primary 1 - 3 lays the foundations for future work in literacy and numeracy as well as introducing them to the wider world around them. From this age pupils also receive Physical Education and Music from subject specialists and HE is introduced in P3. The core work continues in Primary 4 - 6 as well as having the challenge of learning some French, again by a specialist by P6. By Transitional, Primary 7, the pupils are taught by subject specialists in Senior School for Art, Geography, History and Science but maintain a solid link with their primary teacher in the core subjects of Language, Mathematics, PSD, RME and ICT.
