Reading, writing and arithmetic are still the foundation of your child's primary school education, but what else will they be taught? You'll be surprised at how much is covered in their lessons, from geography to art, music to PSHE (Personal Social Health Education).
You might find you have a budding historian on your hands, or a little leading lady who loves drama lessons – and, of course, your child will get the opportunity to exercise and play in PE lessons. Computing / ICT (Information Communication Technology) is a vital subject in the 21st century, and your child will use computers in different areas of the curriculum from Reception onwards.
