Primary Six and Primary Seven form our Upper Primary section, where learners consolidate their knowledge, strengthen independent study habits, and prepare for the transition to secondary education.
Learners continue to develop their competencies across the national curriculum, with particular emphasis on English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. Teachers provide focused academic guidance and support, particularly as learners progress towards the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE).
Alongside academics, learners are encouraged to grow in responsibility, confidence, discipline and leadership. Through the school’s Christian ethos, character-development activities and co-curricular opportunities, we aim to prepare learners not only for examinations, but also for the next stage of their education and personal growth.
"Upper Primary is a special stage in our pupils’ journey — a time to build confidence, take more responsibility, and discover a deeper love for learning. It’s also when our pupils begin to shine as leaders and role models within the school community."
At The Olive School – Namugongo, we believe that every child is unique and learns in different ways. That’s why our Upper Primary curriculum (P.5 to P.7) offers an engaging blend of academic challenge, life skills, and leadership growth.
Our teachers use learner-centered methods to support children as they build deeper subject knowledge, confidence, and independence. Learners are prepared for the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) with a strong foundation in numeracy, literacy, science, social studies, and practical competencies.
In addition to core subjects, pupils participate in enrichment programmes like leadership training, debate, reading competitions, science fairs, and spiritual assemblies.
We guide our learners to take personal responsibility, work collaboratively, and embrace positive values through weekly mentoring, character development workshops, and peer leadership roles in class and co-curricular clubs.
As they approach transition to secondary school, pupils receive academic counselling and participate in transition planning activities to prepare for the next stage of their educational journey.
