The British Curriculum
We deliver the best of British Primary Education following the Early Years Framework in Nursery and Reception classes (ages 3-5) and the English National Curriculum from Year 1 to Year 6 which is divided into two educational stages shown below.
The children in Early Years follow a broad and balanced curriculum following the British Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.
The emphasis is on learning through play-based activities, with adult-led, adult-initiated and child-initiated tasks. Children are engaged in activities which stimulate their interests as well as help their development in all areas of growth and development. There are constant opportunities to develop English speaking and listening skills, developing the beginnings of reading and writing and for working cooperatively. During the year the children will be looking at a variety of carefully planned units of work which will cover all the 7 areas of learning.
| Key Stage 1 | |
|---|---|
| Year 1 | 5-6 years old |
| Year 2 | 6-7 years old |
| Key Stage 2 | |
| Year 3 | 7-8 years old |
| Year 4 | 8-9 years old |
| Year 5 | 9-10 years old |
| Year 6 | 10-11 years old |
In both KS1 and KS2 we follow the British National Curriculum, which includes Spanish and Catalan language and culture. The subjects taught from the British Curriculum are English, maths, science, humanities (history and geography), computer science, physical education (PE), music, personal social health and economic education (PSHE) and art. From Year 3 onwards students can select to study an additional language of German or French.
This is optional and students can also continue with additional English and learning support during this time. Each subject is taught through units of work to cover the curriculum throughout each Key Stage. Examples of these units are The Romans (history), Place Value (maths), Tourism (geography) and basketball (PE). At the beginning of each term, a termly overview will be sent to each class to inform parents what will be taught that term.
