Curriculum

Welcome back to another exciting year at Skye Primary School! We hope you had a wonderful break and are feeling refreshed and ready for another big year of learning and growing. As we step into this new school year, we are excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to working together to support every student in reaching their full potential.

It has been fantastic to see how well our students have settled back into the learning environment. They have quickly embraced their classroom routines, demonstrating a strong sense of independence and enthusiasm for their learning. From the very first days, it has been clear that students are engaged and ready to take on new challenges. Their connection with their classroom teachers has been particularly strong, fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere where every child feels valued and motivated to do their best. It’s wonderful to see such a smooth and confident start to the year.

This year, a key focus for our school will be the continued development and refinement of our instructional model. We are committed to implementing best-practice teaching strategies informed by research on how students learn most effectively. By aligning our approach with evidence-based methods, we aim to create engaging, structured, and supportive learning environments that maximise student success.

Another important area of focus will be improving our use of formative assessment. These ongoing assessments help teachers gain valuable insights into students' strengths and areas for improvement, allowing for more targeted and specific teaching. By using this data effectively, we can better support and extend student learning, ensuring that every child is challenged and supported in their educational journey. 

We are excited for the year ahead and look forward to working together to make it a great one.
