The Prime Areas

The prime areas are:

Personal, social and emotional development
- The school helps pupils to develop a positive sense of themselves and others to enable them to form positive and respectful relationships. Pupils develop social skills and learn how to manage their feelings and behave appropriately in groups, and to be confident in their own abilities.

Communication and language
- The school gives pupils the opportunity to experience a rich language environment, and to develop their confidence and skills in expressing themselves.

Physical development
- The school provides opportunities for pupils to be active and interactive, and to develop their coordination, control and movement. Pupils are helped to understand the importance of physical activity and make healthy choices in relation to food.
