Primary Department
Welcome to Our Primary Department
At Tor Bank school, the Primary Department is dedicated to creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child can thrive. We understand that each student is unique, and we tailor our approach to meet their individual needs, ensuring they receive the support and encouragement necessary to reach their full potential.
Our experienced and compassionate staff work closely with families and the multi-disciplinary team to develop personalised learning plans that cater to the strengths and challenges of each child. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that includes academic subjects, life skills, and therapeutic activities, all designed to foster growth and development in a holistic manner.
In the Primary Department, we emphasise the importance of building strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and social skills but we offer a variety of extracurricular activities designed to enhance our students' educational experience and promote their overall well-being. Here are some of the activities available in our Primary Department:
1. Arts and Crafts: Encouraging creativity and fine motor skills through various art projects.
2. Singalong and Dance Club: Providing opportunities for self-expression and sensory development.
3. Sports and Physical Activities: Including adapted sports, swimming, horse riding, softplay and yoga to promote physical health and teamwork.
4. Forest School and Outdoor Learning: Teaching students about nature and responsibility through hands on child led activities.
5. ICT Club: providing students the opportunity to further develop their technological skills.
6. Sensory Play and Circuits: Offering sensory-rich activities to support sensory processing and integration.
7. Communication Groups: Facilitating social interaction and spontaneous communication through structured and fun activities.
These activities are designed to be inclusive and accessible, ensuring that every child can participate and benefit from them. We believe that extracurricular activities play a crucial role in the holistic development of our students, helping them to discover new interests and talents.
We believe in the power of a supportive community and strive to create a positive and inclusive atmosphere where every child feels valued and respected. Our goal is to empower our students to become confident, independent, and happy individuals who are prepared for the next stage of their educational journey.
