OUR INTERNATIONAL PRIMARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Our 5 to 11-year-olds follow the National Curriculum of England, which teaches the fundamental understanding, skills, and values every child needs to flourish.


Adapted to our local context in Qatar, our primary school curriculum provides a firm academic foundation, as well as offering diverse learning experiences that challenge, engage, and inspire. Our personalised approach will ensure your child makes exceptional progress in every subject, too. It also guarantees they’ll receive the best possible care and attention.

OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC FOUNDATIONS

Divided into Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, our broad and balanced primary school curriculum brings subject learning to life.

Our students develop their literacy, numeracy, and scientific skills through a variety of approaches. These include learning about the role of maths in everyday life, reading for pleasure, developing their handwriting skills, and communicating through song and storytelling.

Music and PE are taught by our subject specialists. Language learning is also an important part of our curriculum, increasing cultural awareness, enhancing cognitive development, and connecting our students to the world. In primary, our children can learn either Arabic, French, or Hindi.

In everything they do, we make sure our students are safe and happy, valued and understood. Our ‘Jigsaw’ approach to personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education is at the heart of each student’s experience.

MAKING GREAT PROGRESS

In line with schools across the UK – and the Nord Anglia Education family – we keep track of our primary students’ progress in reading, writing, numeracy, and science. Through a variety of techniques, we identify whether each child is ‘Beginning’, ‘Developing’, ‘Meeting’ or ‘Exceeding’ their age-expected Fundamental Learning Objectives (FLOs). We then make sure each student receives the perfect blend of challenge and support.
