A Vision for Primary Education
The Primary School Curriculum celebrates the uniqueness of the child. It is designed to nurture the child in all dimensions of his or her life: spiritual, moral, cognitive, emotional, imaginative, aesthetic, social and physical.
The curriculum incorporates child centred principles. It identifies three primary aims of primary education:
· to enable the child to live a full life as a child and to realise his or her potential as a unique individual
· to enable the child to develop as a social being through living and co-operating with others and so contribute to the good of society
· to prepare the child for further education and lifelong learning.
The curriculum is learner-centred. It emphasises the importance of literacy, numeracy, and language, while at the same time responding to changing needs in science and technology, social personal and health education, and citizenship.
The curriculum is presented in six subject areas comprising 11 subjects. The development and implementation of the curriculum in religious education in primary schools remains the responsibility of the relevant patron bodies.
