We will continue to concentrate on the different aspects of genre in the New Primary Language Curriculum as part of the SSE process. The new primary language curriculum for English and Irish has been developed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) and has been fully introduced in all primary schools in Ireland. This new curriculum applies in all school contexts – English-medium schools, Gaeltacht schools, Irish-medium schools and special schools.
Fluency in reading is also a focus in all classrooms in Scoil Phádraig. We will also be focusing on strategies and programmes to improve spelling in the school.
In numeracy we will continue to focus on problem solving and mental maths skills.
The process of SSE has shown improvements in all these areas throughout the school. We will endeavour to make use of a range of methodologies during the SSE process which includes the use of ICT.
