PRIMARY SCHOOL FACTS & FIGURES
OUR PRIMARY SCHOOL PROGRAMME
The foundations for academic success begin in primary school. At TBS Warsaw, our programme for Years 1–6 blends two internationally recognised curricula: the National Curriculum for England and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC).
For core subjects like English and Maths, we follow the rigorous standards of the National Curriculum for England, which focuses on the development of knowledge, understanding and skills. For other subjects, we follow the IPC, a widely used global curriculum that nurtures cultural awareness and an international mindset.
Through academic reports and regular assessments, we closely monitor the development of every child, keeping parents informed and enabling our teachers to adapt to individual needs. Our teaching approach emphasises creativity and interactive learning, with the goal of developing confident and independent learners. After completing their primary education, our students go on to study at some of the most selective secondary schools, including TBS Warsaw.
