    Primary National Strategy

    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.
