THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM
Old Warren Primary School aims to provide a broad education for
each child in its care. We believe that Primary children need a
solid foundation in all subject areas and there is a great emphasis
put on reading, writing and mathematics. Our traditional approach to
these subjects is based on tried and tested methods but we are also
very willing to embrace new ideas and new technologies. We believe
in maximising each child's potential and we encourage parents to
become fully active in their child's learning. All teachers attend
regular training courses to keep up to date with the many new
developments in education.
