Primary education at CAXTON COLLEGE is centred around:

• Dynamic learning systems based on the child’s action and experimentation.
  
• An all round education, emphasising the importance of artistic and musical understanding, etc.
  
• The acquisition of solid academic knowledge which will be the foundations for future studies.

Our aim is to provide the development of cognitive, affective, motor and social skills, as well as the ability to communicate and think in a logical way. The pupils acquire a knowledge of the environment through their own observations and practical experiences.

In Primary, in addition to the class teacher the subjects of Physical Education, Music, Spanish Language and Culture are taught by specialist teachers.

All areas of the curriculum are taught in English except Spanish Language and Social Studies which are taught on a daily basis to all year groups.
