It is the policy of the Board of Governors of Edenderry Primary School that all pupils will
receive their full entitlement of the Northern Ireland Curriculm as set out in the Education
Reform Order (1989) N.I.

Thus the school will provide a broad and balanced curriculum which aims to :

- promote the spiritual, moral, cultural and intellectual development of each child;

- prepare each pupil for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.

The school provides worthwhile
experiences in all of the areas of study of
the N.I. Curriculum which are:

English
Mathematics
Science and Technology
The Environment and Society
Creative and Expressive Studies

In addition an agreed syllabus for Religious Education will be followed by all pupils, except
those parents who request otherwise.

As well as the four cross curricular
themes:

Information Technology
Health Education
Cultrual Heritage
Education for Mutual
Understanding

Delivery of the Curriculum

Teaching will reflect a variety of styles and will be presented to meet the needs of individual
pupils, groups of pupils and the class as a whole as appropriate. Teachers will take account
the needs of lower attaining and more able children and will ensure that effective
programmes of work and support arrangements are in place.

Currently we employ a Support Teacher who provides regular additional help in English
and mathematics. The extent of the additional help depends on the child's difficulties which
are closely monitored using the guidelines of the Special Needs Code of Practice.

Learning Support Centres

Edenderry Primary School also caters for children who have statements of Special
Educational Needs in two well established Learning Support Centres. In addition it also has
a Centre for children with disorders in the Autistic Spectrum.
