The Primary School Curriculum
​

The Primary School Curriculum outlines what children learn in each subject, the approaches and methodologies used and how your child’s learning progresses from Junior Infants to Sixth Class. Castlebar ETNS has developed and will continue to adapt plans which outline how we use the curriculum in our school.

​

​

The Primary School Curriculum aims to:

  • develop each child’s potential to the full

  • encourage in children a love for learning

  • help them develop skills that they will use all their lives.
