The
school day for pupils in the Primary Department begins at
7.50am and ends at
2.00pm. Parents may collect their child at 2.00pm. However, if your child is
remaining after school for a club, they will be looked after by a member of
staff until clubs start at 2.10pm. Parents
can then collect their children at 3.10pm. If for some reason, your child is to
be collected by someone else, then please inform the class teacher in writing on
the day or telephone the office so that a message can be passed on.
Pupils
have a ‘Play Break’ and a ‘Lunch Break’ during the course of the day.
Children are to provide their own meals and drinks as the school does not have a
canteen. Those pupils involved in sports practices or House Competitions during
their breaks, should bring the PE gear to wear at this time.
Subjects
Taught
Subjects
that are covered in the Primary Department are English, Mathematics, Science,
History, Geography, Physical Education, Swimming, Information &
Communications Technology (ICT), Design Technology, Bahasa Malaysia, Art and
Music.
Assessments
The purpose
of assessments is to help inform teachers of a pupil’s progress and to help
decide on future planning of the pupil’s programme of study. Informal
assessment is on going throughout the year for each class in the Primary
Department.
Baseline
Assessments are used for all pupils at the age of five.
Running
records for reading are taken on a regular basis with each child individually in
Year 1 to 5. Topic tests are often set at the end of the topic of study.
Mid-year
formalised assessments are held for all pupils in Year 3 to 5. These normally
take the form of standardised NFER tests in English and mathematics.
Year
2 and 6 pupils sit the UK National Curriculum Tests (SATs) each year. Year 3 –
5 sit the Optional Assessments that compliment the Year 2 & 6 SATs.
Homework
Homework
assignments considered appropriate to the child’s age and ability are set for
all pupils. It should be noted that homework assignments are frequently set to
consolidate previously learned work and do not necessarily reflect the work done
that day.

school.
After-school Clubs
Clubs
are organised by parents and teachers after school from Tuesday to Friday. These
are available to pupils from Year 2 and above. Registration for these clubs
takes place at the beginning of each term. Pupils are encouraged to join these
clubs, but it is not compulsory. Pupils may attend clubs on each day of the week
if they wish.
