Description
Discovery Primary School is Independent Primary school for kids aged 3 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
Discovery Primary School opened in September 2007, catering for girls and boys, aged 3 - 11 year old. At present, there are approximately 720 children on roll. They have 24 classrooms, a library, 2 large halls and extensive play areas including a large multi-use games area. Discovery School works very closely with Discovery Children's Centre, which is part of the school site. Class teachers are responsible for the children's welfare and the delivery of the curriculum. The children's learning is planned jointly in year group teams. During planning, teachers use their own expertise, as well as drawing on the knowledge and strengths of other members of staff, to ensure that learning meets the needs and interests of the children, as well as the demands of the National Curriculum. In this way they are able to ensure that our children's learning experience is the best it can possibly be.

Curriculum
At Discovery they value the importance of a broad, balanced and inclusive curriculum that enables all children to achieve and be successful academically as well as becoming well-rounded citizens. It allows children to experience the challenge and enjoyment of learning while also understanding its purpose and value and seeing its relevance to their past, present and future. Children are able to learn within a coherent and progressive framework which enables them to develop a rich and deep subject knowledge while exploring the breadth and depth of the National Curriculum. The curriculum fully fosters our school values and the ethos of ‘Ubuntu’ allowing children to learn and understand respect for themselves and others as well as developing their own self-esteem and resilience through embedding the importance of co-operation and collaboration. It embraces the cultural diversity and traditions within our school and is reflective of the ethnicities represented. It allows us to celebrate diversity and promote respect, tolerance and individuality.
