Primary Years Programme

Wow what a busy term it has been.

A massive thank you to all of the parents that have attended the PYP mini workshops, Christmas performances and singalongs.

Mini exhibitions and workshops

Mini exhibitions and workshops will be held during the last week of every term.  These events are a key part of our Primary Years Programme as it give you an insight into what our pupils have been learning about during the term.

One of the core experiences of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) is transdisciplinary learning. With this innovative approach, students study various subjects under one theme. They also gain vital skills, which they apply as they work collaboratively with their peers. These skills encourage students to take responsibility for their learning as they ask questions to understand the world around them and explore topics that interest them. 

Transdisciplinary learning enables your child to build concepts and skills across subject areas, rather than studying subjects in isolation. Subjects are distinct, yet interconnected, allowing for a holistic learning experience in which students apply what they’re learning in a variety of contexts.

The IB PYP encompasses six transdisciplinary themes of global importance.

These themes enable our primary school students to explore topics beyond individual subjects to see how they apply in the real world. Examining issues across subject areas makes it possible to analyse them from multiple perspectives. Hence, the different themes and subject areas enhance the learning rather than limit it.


We look foward to welcoming you back into our classrooms in the new year!
