Fun and interactive lessons, embracing modern learning techniques and a genuine appreciation of children’s different learning styles ensure Reigate St Mary’s pupils love school.
During Years one and two pupils spend much of the day with their class teacher although even at this early stage, subject specialists teach Music, ICT and Games.
Learning is based on the National Curriculum framework. As an independent school, however, we take advantage of the freedom we have to develop and further explore areas of interest. Specialist Games teachers work with small groups of pupils to provide an exceptionally varied sports programme which introduces a wide range of activities and sporting skills.
Music lessons embrace singing, percussion and the use of music related computer programs, along with the opportunity learn and individual instrument.
ICT lessons introduce the world of technology, so that by Year Three children confidently use a variety of computer programs.
As a result of such a nurturing, educationally fertile environment, pupils typically perform above the national average by the end of Key Stage 1.
