British Primary Programme

The British Primary Programme covers Year 1 to Year 6 in a child's education. These years are crucial to the foundation of a child’s academic and social development.

National Curriculum of England - with Enhancements

Here in the British Primary section we follow the English National Curriculum (ENC). The
ENC is organised into blocks of learning which cover years and are called ‘Key Stages’. Key
Stage 1 includes Year 1 and 2, while Key Stage 2 incorporates Years 3 to 6. The curriculum
focuses on teaching students key concepts and having them understand these at increasingly
greater depth over time. The ENC is skills based and prioritises the learning of essential
knowledge as well as the development of reasoning and application in all subject
areas. The ENC for Primary Schools is world renowned and respected.

To complement the highly regarded core curriculum of the ENC which encompasses Literacy, Mathematics and Science, we use the International Primary Curriculum (the IPC) to enhance our Integrated Curriculum (IC ) units, which cover the other subjects taught throughout the key stages. 

Key Stage 1 and 2

As a follow through into Key Stage 1 & 2, our BPS approach focuses on learning key concepts and understanding these at greater depth. It encompasses vital skills and knowledge and prioritises reasoning and application in all areas. Every attempt is made to integrate the application of skills and knowledge across all learning areas through our integrated curriculum approach. 

Woven into the curriculum are our School Values and Learner Profile which stand at the very core of who we are and what we strive to achieve.
