The Foundation Phase: Building Strong Beginnings (Grade 1)

The Intermediate Phase: Deepening Understanding

As learners progress into the Intermediate Phase, they begin to explore more abstract concepts. Our continued emphasis on project-based learning becomes even more vital here. By engaging in in-depth research, innovative assignments, and practical experiments, learners are empowered to delve beyond the textbook, making complex ideas relatable and deeply understood.

Dedicated Learner Support Services

At Curro Thatchfield, we are deeply committed to the holistic well-being and academic success of every child. Should a teacher identify that a learner may benefit from additional specialist attention, our dedicated school team acts proactively and compassionately.

We will reach out to you to discuss potential assessments by one of our highly qualified therapists.

Following this, a personalized therapy plan is developed and implemented, providing targeted support until the learner no longer requires it, ensuring every child can reach their full potential.
