OUR PRIMARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Our primary students follow the British National Curriculum for England to learn English and mathematics along with art, geography, history, science, music, Hungarian culture and PE. We bring learning to life through interdisciplinary projects and themes, and our teachers encourage primary students to collaborate, ask questions and share their knowledge.

From Year 3, our students begin to study our world languages curriculum, taking either Hungarian (for native speakers), French or additional English language support. We’re proud to be a bilingual primary school, which offers many opportunities to develop language skills.

From residential camps to musical activities and experiments with technology, our British primary school in Budapest provides the ideal environment for young learners to grow in independence, learn new skills and develop their talents.

Community in the classroom
After a warm welcome, our class teachers will check in on your child’s wellbeing. Group time encourages students to talk, listen, share their hopes for the day, and say how they’re feeling. This builds a spirit of togetherness and develops emotional literacy.
