During their time at ECJS, the children are able to experience a wide range of educational activities. We believe that these experiences form a sound foundation for future academic success.
We are keen to take children on educational visits, which is why we have a degree of flexibility built into the daily routine so that trips to places of local interest, concerts, rehearsals, talks and workshops undertaken by visitors to the school can all be accommodated. These are all considered to be an integral part of the children’s education.
To supplement our own Life Skills programme, pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6 undertake a short course that is run by a qualified health educator from the Board of Health. The local Fire Brigade and Police Education Service assist in parts of this important programme of study.
Children who may need extra support in a specific area are identified as early as possible.
Our Learning Support Programme allows us to offer school-based support for those pupils experiencing difficulties. Children are screened within school if it is felt that a child’s progress is a cause for concern.
Children are taught individually or in pairs in the Dyslexia and Learning Support Unit and close liaison with the child’s class teacher is seen as an essential element in supporting and monitoring progress. There is an extra charge for these lessons.
