Specialist Teaching

At Our Lady Primary School we highly value all areas of the curriculum and we are fortunate to have a number of highly skilled members of staff who specialise in different areas of the curriculum.

Spanish

All pupils at Key Stage Two receive a 30 minute Spanish lesson every week. Children enjoy and gain pride when expressing themselves and interacting with their own class teachers in Spanish, as well as in their Spanish lessons.  Children are encouraged to start to use language for real purposes in daily classroom routines to make sure knowledge sticks! We love to see our pupils’ confidence grow and their cultural awareness increase.

We have many native Spanish speakers in our school community and we welcome their support and help with our Spanish teaching and any extra enrichment opportunities we provide.

Food Technology

In our food technology room every child at Our Lady Primary School is provided with small group time throughout the year to cook sweet and savoury dishes from scratch, guided by a dedicated food technology teacher. This helps us to provide our children with the skills they need to succeed in their futures and allows them to develop other interests outside of the classroom.

Music

Children from years 2-6 are able to learn an instrument through specialist music tuition.

Instrumental Tuition 

The school offers tuition in guitar, piano and violin on a fee-paying basis through the Herts Music Service.

Children can have individual, shared or group lessons. The group and shared arrangements will depend on the teacher’s assessment of the children’s abilities. 

Parents in receipt of Income Support or Income-Based Job Seekers Allowance can apply for remission of music fees.  Applicants who are in receipt of Family Credit, Housing Benefit, Council Tax Benefit or Disability Working Allowance can apply to receive 50% remission. Applications can be made on-line at www.hertsdirect.org/scholearn/canhelp/ or by calling 0300 123 4048.

If you would like to apply for tuition please complete the application form from the Herts Music Service at www.hertsmusicservice.org.uk or alternatively calling 01438 844 851.

Children will need to have the requested instrument at home to allow them to practise, the music teachers are happy to offer advice about this. Children may also need to be assessed by the relevant teacher before being accepted.
