OUR BRITISH PRIMARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM

At our British primary school in Nanjing, students follow the English National Curriculum.

The fundamental components of our primary curriculum are English, science and maths. In Years 1-4, these are complemented by a range of subjects, including computing, geography, history, and art and design. In Year 5, students follow a more defined timetable that prepares them for secondary school.

Teaching at our British primary school is personalised to embrace individual passions and ambitions. Lessons are lively, challenging and engaging, giving your child plenty of opportunities to think critically and independently.

Picking up a second (or third!) language is important, too, and we support our students to learn German, Spanish or Mandarin.

MORE THAN ACADEMICS

Academic excellence is crucial at our private primary school in Nanjing, but we also encourage our students to take a broader view of success.

Both in and beyond the classroom, your child will play sports, learn a musical instrument, take to the stage, and volunteer on community outreach programmes. Specialist teachers, professional musicians and world-class coaches help students to shine.

Every learner contributes to our school community, too, becoming a caring, conscientious young citizen from an early age.

THE BEST POSSIBLE SUPPORT

Our small class sizes and a low teacher-student ratio will ensure your child gets the attention and guidance they need, both in and beyond our British primary school curriculum.

We have dedicated SEN coordinators who work closely with teachers to support students who need extra help. This includes putting plans in place, keeping an eye on progress, and working closely with families.

Our comprehensive English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme, meanwhile, is designed for students who need help with their English. We can also organise extra lessons for those who want to learn at a faster pace. We’ve found immersing your child in an English-speaking community quickly helps them to become a fluent speaker.
