Message from Intermediate School Principal
Welcome to Sutton Park Intermediate School
Sutton Park Intermediate School builds on the most wonderful of educational experiences your child will have enjoyed in the Junior School.
At this stage we promote a more formal teaching and learning environment intended to foster a greater degree of independence, create enquiring minds resulting in transference of skills and life-long learning.
The structure of the day is quite unique and is designed to promote independence, academic excellence and positive attitudes to the educational experience.
Children enjoy the benefits of having their class teacher for the morning periods of the day and are then introduced to the specialist teachers, classrooms, resources and experiences of our Senior School. The children move from class to class, enjoying lessons of 40 minutes duration and sampling the independence and responsibility that this structure offers.
Our emphasis at this stage of schooling is very clear. We seek to offer a rich, challenging curriculum but one which promotes the highest standards in both English and Mathematics in particular. Success in these areas unlocks the door to success in all other curricular areas and to life in general.
We strive to foster in our children an appreciation of the importance of learning and to this end we emphasise the importance of the assessment of academic attainment. Each child is challenged to maximise their abilities and, where required, we seek to support those students who encounter difficulty and extend those who enjoy academic success.
Your child will be taught in a warm, supportive and challenging environment. They will experience a wealth of activities that develop them as both students and citizens.
Sutton Park Intermediate School is the perfect environment for the pursuit of high academic standards and very importantly for preparation for the methodologies and challenges offered as your child progresses into the secondary phase of their education.
