THE ABBEY JUNIOR SCHOOL IS DELIGHTED TO NOW OFFER THE INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE’S PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAMME

The Abbey Junior School, Reading, has become the first 3-11 girls’ school in the UK to be authorised to deliver the International Baccalaureate’s Primary Years Programme (PYP). The PYP is the outstanding curriculum for primary-aged students, helping young people solve tomorrow’s problems. What makes it special is that students are taught how to think and how to connect subjects, rather than memorising stale content in fixed channels. Students are inquirers and investigators, led by their own curiosity to pursue meaningful questions relating to the world in which they grow. The PYP provides an outstanding educational framework for all their students. T: 0118 987 2256 W: www.theabbey.co.uk
