Formal Curriculum Pathway Within the Primary Phase students

Formal Curriculum Pathway

Within the Primary Phase, students work within semi-formal learning environments where they are provided with every opportunity to develop literacy and numeracy skills through play, higher ability groups and discrete interventions. Once students move into the Secondary Phase, learners are placed into teaching groups depending on individual need, this is determined by what we know about our young people. The distinctions between each pathway are flexible allowing for movement between the models for some pupils. AT WHAT STAGE DO STUDENTS BECOME FORMAL LEARNERS ?
