Almancil Primary School

Our commitment to student wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. Our Primary School programme prioritises the social, emotional, and physical health of our students, fostering a culture of collaboration and empathy. Through a supportive environment that embraces challenge and encourages growth, students gradually develop resilience, compassion, and a deeper connection with both nature and their community. 

At Almancil, we are dedicated to nurturing well-rounded individuals prepared to embrace the future with confidence, curiosity, and a strong sense of connection to the world around them. 

Through regular assessments aligned with international standards, we provide a clear picture of each student’s academic achievements in relation to global benchmarks. These assessments help us track milestones, identify areas for additional support, and celebrate accomplishments as students progress through their learning journey. Alongside these standardised evaluations, our teachers conduct continuous assessments within the classroom, observing students’ learning styles, understanding, and engagement to guide the next steps in their education. 

We believe that effective education is a partnership between school and home, and we are committed to keeping parents well-informed about their child’s academic and personal growth. We share regular updates that highlight individual progress, areas of strength, and any challenges, while also addressing aspects of wellbeing and social development. Our aim is to provide parents with a comprehensive understanding of their child’s progress and to collaborate in supporting each child’s unique potential. 

By combining formal assessments with teacher insights, we create tailored learning plans that address each student’s needs, setting meaningful and achievable goals for continued growth. This dynamic approach to assessment allows us to adapt learning activities, strategies, and support systems to ensure that each child feels encouraged, challenged, and capable of reaching new heights. Through this personalised attention, school nurtures student’s confidence and academic success, helping them thrive today and preparing them for future learning. 

We provide parents with detailed reports on their child’s academic progress three times a year, offering clear insights into both attainment and effort. Each report includes specific feedback on students’ achievements and areas for improvement, helping parents stay informed and involved in their child’s learning journey. 

We value the partnership between school and home, inviting parents to meet with their child’s class teacher throughout the year. These meetings are strategically scheduled, giving parents an opportunity to discuss their child’s progress in depth. This open communication fosters a strong home-school relationship, reinforcing the support each child receives. 

Beyond scheduled meetings, parents are welcome to reach out to teachers at any time to discuss their child’s development. Our teachers are always available to address questions or concerns, ensuring that parents feel supported and informed throughout the school year.
