IB PYP Curriculum: Welcome back to our 2015 school year.
Welcome back everyone. It is great to have the boys back at school!
Our new staff started on Thursday 22 January and all teachers were officially back in action on Wednesday 28 January. The focus prior to the boys arriving was; getting learning environments and programmes ready for 2015, to settle new teaching and learning teams and to collaboratively begin the curriculum planning process for the year.
We have started our professional learning for 2015 with a 2-hour session presented by Kylie Bice on Differentiated Learning. We will follow this up with further sessions with Kylie throughout the year.
Information for our new parents
In 2003 the Junior School was authorized to implement the Primary Years Programme (PYP). The PYP is a curriculum framework that guides our structures and pedagogy to ensure we are all working towards the same purpose of developing boys who can be life long learners and active global citizens. Boys who reflect the Scotch mission statement.
An information session for parents new to Scotch Junior School and the Primary Years Programme will be held on Wednesday 4 March. More details will be distributed shortly.

Deputy Head of Junior School - Curriculum
