HEBRON SCHOOL

Junior School

  In the Junior School we follow the English National Curriculum, but with some modifications and additions, taking into account our location and international profile. In this overview, it is not possible to state all that is covered in each year in each subject, but we have tried to give just a sample of the kind of work that goes on in each year group, to give an idea of the different levels.
 

ICT

  The children of Hebron Junior School have two lessons a week in one of the computer suites each week, as well as having a computer in each classroom which is used to support the different curriculum subjects. We follow a programme by a British company called LCP. This has set out very clearly the different areas of ICT learning in a progressive way. Units of work are as follows;-
