Welcome to the Junior School – a vibrant and forward-thinking learning community where high standards, a caring environment and a love of learning come together every day.
At The Grammar Junior School, we are committed to giving every child a confident and happy start to their school journey. We provide a safe, nurturing atmosphere where children feel valued and supported, while benefiting from excellent facilities, innovative teaching and a strong tradition of achievement.
Our curriculum is broad, balanced and carefully designed to inspire curiosity and creativity. Alongside strong foundations in English, Mathematics, Science and the wider curriculum, we enrich learning through exciting themed projects, hands-on experiences and the meaningful use of technology. We want our pupils not only to achieve, but to enjoy the process of learning.
The Student Experience
Reception Class
Our Reception class provides a warm, nurturing and stimulating environment where each child’s academic, social and emotional development is carefully supported. We recognise that every child is unique and aim to build confidence, independence and a love of learning from the very beginning of their school journey.
The majority of the curriculum in Reception is delivered in English, ensuring strong foundations in communication, early literacy and numeracy skills. Greek is also an important part of the programme. Children learn Greek within the curriculum and are grouped according to their level of fluency. Pupils either follow the Greek programme designed for Cypriot nationals or study Greek as a second language, allowing each child to progress at an appropriate pace.
In addition, children take part in specialist lessons such as Music and Physical Education. Through Music, they develop rhythm, creativity and self-expression, while Physical Education promotes coordination, teamwork and healthy habits in a fun and active way. They also begin to explore cross-curricular topics such as Geography, History and Science, encouraging curiosity about the world around them.
Year 1-6
In Classes 1–6, our curriculum continues to follow the broad framework of the British National Curriculum, often working beyond expected levels to challenge and inspire our students. English and Maths build on the strong foundations laid in the early years, using the same well-established schemes, with increasing depth and complexity as children progress.
Subjects are taught discretely, allowing children to focus on the specific skills and knowledge required in each area. For most lessons, children remain with their Class Teacher, who guides their learning across a broad range of subjects. For specialist areas such as Greek, Physical Education, ICT, and Music, students are taught by Subject Specialists, ensuring expert instruction and engagement in each discipline.
Our pupils are actively involved in a wide range of enriching activities throughout the year. They participate in school shows, Greek Assemblies, Sports Days, and other celebrations, giving them opportunities to develop confidence, teamwork, and pride in their achievements.
Greek
At our Grammar School, we offer a rich Greek curriculum designed to develop high-level reading, writing and analytical skills, while fostering a genuine love for the Greek language.
During Greek lessons, students are taught in two groups to ensure appropriate support and challenge. Level 1 is for native or fluent Greek speakers, focusing on advanced language and literary analysis. Level 2 is for non-Greek speakers, building strong foundations in vocabulary, grammar and communication skills. This approach allows every student to progress with confidence.
