Primary comprises Form I to Form VI. Pupils start Form I at the age of 7 and finish Form VI at the age of 12.
Class size is an average of twenty, with one Form teacher per group plus several visiting teachers for subjects such as Art, Gym, Singing, Information Technology and Music. The key subject areas in the curriculum are English, Spanish, Mathematics, Science and Social Subjects.

English is the working language throughout the whole school. Pupils are expected to use English at all times except during Spanish and Physical Education lessons. By the time pupils finish Form VI they can read, speak and write fluently in English and are fully prepared to initiate their secondary studies in whichever institution they choose.

Spanish is introduced in the curriculum in Form I and the official programme authorized by the Uruguayan Educational Authorities is applied.

At the end of Form VI students sit for Examen de Egreso which enables them to enter secondary school.

Our school uniform is available in Boomerang (Solano García 2525 – Phone: 2712 1451 / 2712 0317) and JP Uniformes (Pablo de María 909 – Phone: 2419 1796)

• BEGINNERS: green overall with Little Learners’ logo. Blue, gym uniform underneath.
• NURSERY: red overall with Little Learners’ logo. Blue, gym uniform underneath.
• KINDER AND PREP: grey uniform to come to school every day except on gym and psychomotricity days, when they come in their blue, gym uniform.  Blue overall to be kept at school from Monday to Friday.
• FORM I TO FORM VI: grey uniform to come to school every day except on gym and sports days, when they come in their blue, gym uniform.

Children will start school wearing the summer uniform (polo T-shirt & jumper for girls, polo T-shirt & short trousers for boys) until further notice.

Both grey and gym uniforms are obligatory. All pupils from Form I upwards must have a grey blazer to be worn on cold days and outings. The anorak is to be worn only on rainy days and cannot replace the blazer.

Boys in Forms V and VI may wear long, grey trousers if they wish whereas boys from Kindergarten to Form IV have to wear short trousers except during the winter months when they will be allowed to wear long ones.

Girls must have their hair tied as this will help to prevent the spreading of lice which so worries us all. Hair bands and pins must be burgundy.  Girls are not allowed to varnish their nails to come to school.

No jewellery of any kind or “bijouterie”, is allowed as this can be a safety hazard during sports and other activities.

With reference to the gym uniform, the knee-length blue socks and striped rugby and hockey shirts are for competition only.

We specifically ask that all garments as well as lunch boxes and their contents are marked with the pupil’s name. This is of great help when articles are misplaced or left behind.

Our uniforms in detail

As from Form I the students are divided into three main groups named after one dynasty of British monarchs and are identified by the following colours: Tudor (blue), Stuart (yellow) and Windsor (red). This system is designed to increase student participation in School life, promote positive behaviour and healthy competition.
