Early Years Education (Junior and Senior Infants)

Children come to school from a wide variety of backgrounds and have a range of diverse learning experiences either at home or in a pre-school setting. Within the early years, pupils will build on these learning experiences in order to fulfil their potential. Pupils will actively engage in practical learning programmes which are enjoyable:

• Promoting children’s personal development
• Promoting positive attitudes and dispositions to learning
• Promoting children’s thinking skills and personal capabilities
• Encouraging creativity and imagination
• Enabling children to develop physical confidence and competence
• Enabling children to communication in a variety of ways
• Motivating children to develop literacy and numeracy skills in meaningful contexts.
