The
Primary National Strategy was introduced in June 2003. It
placed seven significant challenges before our Primary
Schools. These are: -
Take a fresh look at their curriculum, their timetable
and the organisation of the school day and week, and
think actively about how they would like to develop and
enrich the experience they offer their children;
-
Set a trajectory for continuous and sustained
improvement in rates of progress in literacy and
numeracy from 2003 onwards;
-
Commit to a programme of professional development for
all their staff;
-
Look beyond their own school and learn from
others;
-
Review their strategies for involving parents in their
children's education;
-
Embed the teaching of positive behaviour into the
fabric of learning and teaching in the school;
-
Review the way in which they use all the resources
available to the school.
