our british and international primary school curriculum

Our primary students follow the English National Curriculum, which teaches the fundamental knowledge and skills every child needs to flourish. As well as focusing on English, maths and science, your child will enjoy opportunities that help them develop personally, socially, and emotionally.

Adapted to our local and international context, our primary education is divided into two important phases: Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.

OUR APPROACH TO PRIMARY

BRINGING LEARNING TO LIFE IN EXCITING WAYS

Throughout their primary education, your child will consider topics from multiple perspectives, enjoy hands-on projects, and make meaningful connections across the subjects. This makes learning fun, while building a strong academic foundation that allows them to excel.

Learning a second language is also an important part of our primary students’ development, bringing many academic, personal, and cultural benefits. Every child receives four hours of either Mandarin or Spanish. Our Malaysian students also take Bahasa Melayu.

Our teachers bring learning to life in practical ways, too. This includes termly excursions to local museums and places of interest, as well as – from Year 4 – exciting overnight trips in Malaysia and abroad.

KEY STAGE 1

At Key Stage 1, our children develop their core literacy and numeracy skills, as well as following a broad curriculum that includes humanities, art, STEAM, music, PE, and languages. Learning is both collaborative and child-led, ensuring each student is engaged and working in a way that’s right for them.
