Primary Curriculum
Key Stages 1 and 2
In KS1 and 2 we follow the National curriculum of England. In the Primary Phase, the curriculum is broad and balanced and is relevant to children. The curriculum meets the needs and interests of all learners, build on pupils' strengths, interests and experiences and develop their confidence in their capacity to learn and work independently and collaboratively.
The school promotes and provides various opportunities for the development of:
1. Research and other 21st century learning skills through independent enquiry using technology
2. Communication skills through drama, elocution, role play, listening and speaking as an effective communicator.
3. Social skills by interacting with peers, displaying mutual respect and tolerance, ability to deal and resolve conflict
Personal Enrichment Programme (PEP) further develops areas of specific interest in students through a range of activities including ballet, creative writing, science club, math club, sports and ICT.
