Welcome to Primary School

Ages 5 - 11

Active and personalised learning in small groups

Our Primary School

“More than a school, The Olive Tree is a community, a family, a safe, friendly & creative environment where my child has been growing and developing. He comes back happy and excited about his day at school. Amazing teachers.”

Hermana, Parent

‘’Seeing your child going to school happy every morning is the best parents can ask for. Our daughter holds her dearest memories from The Olive Tree School. The teachers are dedicated and caring. The small classes allow for personalised attention to all students. Thank you.’’

Parent 8th August 2024

‘‘Primary and secondary pupils are presented with challenging and engaging learning experiences through effective questioning and well-planned activities that allow them to demonstrate their knowledge and build upon it.’’

Small is beautiful: We have a maximum of 20 children per class and, between ages 5-7, the class teacher is supported by a teaching assistant, so the ratio of teaching staff to children is 1:10. Close bonds mean we guide each child supportively through each new stage of their learning.
We love story making, song, creativity with numbers, a dynamic approach to science, and exciting project work led by the children’s own interests.
At ages 7-11, children fuse their understanding of literacy, mathematics, science, history, and social sciences in high-level project work. In addition, pupils learn music, art, drama, choir, PE, Spanish and Catalan.
Outdoor learning such as Forest School, and trips to the local coastline, cities and towns are essential too, we always have exciting clubs and enrichment.
Pupils have a voice in their School Council, where they can contribute  their ideas for school improvements or development.
