Primary (ages 2-11)

From the first day in school in Early Years to the end of Key Stage 2, students learn through experience. Access to specialist facilities lets children experience a broad and balanced curriculum at all ages.

Starting with the Early Years Foundation Stage, we create an environment where everyone feels secure and valued. Skilled teachers challenge children to think creatively and make connections in their learning. These connections are developed in Key Stage 1, where children start to become more aware of different subjects, recognising the common strands that define areas of study.

In Key Stage 2, teaching and learning become increasingly based on skills, with investigative work a key part of each day’s activities. Literacy and numeracy also remain very important. Innovative use of the latest classroom technology helps teachers to make sure that all students enjoy learning, while new resources from the UK ensure that they make progress and achieve highly. We build confidence in all our students, preparing them to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives. Our students will make a strong and positive contribution to society, and our curriculum gives them the skills and knowledge they will need.

We place a strong emphasis on skills in English and mathematics, called literacy and numeracy in the framework, and teachers ensure that the fundamental building blocks are placed early.
