The International Primary Curriculum, commonly known as IPC, is a comprehensive, thematic and creative curriculum with specific learning goals for every subject. At La Côte International School, the IPC programme complements the English National Curriculum in the Primary school and Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), to help develop a global mindset from a very young age. 

IPC Curriculum

The IPC-International Primary Curriculum is taught to over 1,000 students across 90 countries around the world, with many opportunities for students and teachers to share their experiences and learning.

As a flexible, interdisciplinary programme focussed around subject, personal and international learning goals, the International Primary Curriculum offers students the opportunity to truly develop their knowledge, skills and understanding through exciting and meaningful units of work. 

Each IPC Topic Work unit covers the following subjects: Geography; History; Science; Art; Technology; Physical Education; Music and Computing. 

IPC Curriculum
I love that IPC places such emphasis on developing the student’s personal traits and equips them with transferable skills they can use in any situation, both in an educational setting and in the community around them. Mark O’Brien, IPC Lead and KS2 Coordinator

IPC units of work include a variety of themes, which are age-appropriate and relevant to each age range: age 5-7; age 7-9 and age 9-11. In the younger years, units are based on topics that enable students to draw on their own experiences such as ‘The Toy Maker’ and ‘A day in the Life’.

Older students study more complex topics, which focus on developing their investigative and research skills, such as ‘Mission to Mars’, ‘Chocolate’ and ‘Champions for Change’. Each thematic IPC unit includes an international aspect, to help students to develop a global mindset and a sense of international mindedness.
