About
Talbot Senior National School is a lively primary school that delivers a balanced curriculum blending core academic subjects with a strong emphasis on creative and technological enrichment. The school fosters experiential learning, encouraging pupils to explore scientific inquiry through annual science fairs and to develop problem‑solving skills via hands‑on projects. Music education is also a key feature, with a well‑established choir for senior classes that showcases the pupils’ vocal talent and teamwork. The school actively embraces digital literacy through the Microsoft Dream Space Ambassador programme. Students receive online training and then mentor peers and staff in unplugged coding activities and MicroBit programming, reinforcing a culture of peer‑led learning and confidence in technology. A recent safety initiative sees staff on yard duty wearing bright hi‑vis jackets, ensuring that children can easily locate adult support, thereby promoting an inclusive and secure playground environment. Facilities include dedicated science and technology spaces equipped for experiments and coding sessions, as well as a safe, accessible playground. Communication with families is maintained through regular newsletters, a comprehensive website, and clear enrolment information, supporting a transparent and welcoming community atmosphere.
