Curriculum
The primary section caters for boys and girls, aged between 5½-l0½ years of age. At present, there are approximately 480 children on roll. We have eighteen classrooms, an ICT Suite, a library, a music room, an art room, a lunch hall, a learning support room, and 2 conference rooms.
The first two years in primary school [Key Stage 1] set the foundation for primary education based on the British National Curriculum. Years 3 to 6 make up Key Stage 2. At the end of Year 6, the students do the Cambridge International Checkpoint Exam which serves as a benchmark for entry into secondary school.
Teachers are responsible for the children’s welfare and delivery of the curriculum. Work is planned by teachers who draw on their expertise, knowledge, and experience to ensure work is relevant and suited to the needs of the children. The emphasis is on developing skills and teaching them how to improve their own learning while at the same time living harmoniously with others.
We believe extra-curricular activities play a very important role in the all-round development of young people. We, therefore, offer a variety of activities for our students to join and enjoy during the school day and after school.
There is an expectation of high standards of personal behavior and respect for others which we expect parents to encourage and support. Our expectations are clearly outlined in our Discipline and Homework policies.
The British National Curriculum forms the basis of the education in the Primary School where Years 1 and 2 make up Key Stage 1, and Years 3 to 6 make up Key Stage 2. At the end of Year 6, the students sit for the Cambridge International Checkpoint Exam which is a recognized benchmark for entry into secondary school.
For each subject in the curriculum, there is a programme of study, outlining the subject, knowledge, and skills that the pupils have to develop at each stage. There are frequent checks and balances on the progress of pupils, which are regularly communicated to their parents.
Throughout the curriculum, we equip our children with the academic, personal and social learning skills needed for the fast-changing world that they’ll be living and working in. We do this within the happy, structured and nurturing environment of the primary school.
