Our unique curriculum is based on the National Curriculum for England and Early Years Foundation Stage, but is influenced by current issues and local opportunities, and evolves to meet the specific needs and interests of our international community of children.

Foundation Age 3-5

At Kings’ School Al Barsha, we provide a broad and balanced curriculum for our youngest children, aged 3 to 5 years, based on the English Early Years Foundation Stage. The curriculum covers the areas of:

• personal, social and emotional development.
• communication and language
• physical development
• literacy
• mathematics
• understanding the world
• expressive arts and design

Primary Age 5-11

At Kings’ School Al Barsha, the Primary level of schooling takes children from age 5 to 11, and is broken into two stages:

• Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2, ages 5 to 7)
• Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to 6, ages 7 to 11).

Key Stage 2 begins with a greater emphasis on independence, leadership and collaboration. In the first two years, teachers facilitate learning experiences designed to:

• provoke thinking skills
• nurture risk-taking
• develop emotional intelligence
• stimulate the imagination
• challenge
• build confidence
• develop leadership skills

Secondary Age 11-16

At Kings’ School Al Barsha, the Secondary level of schooling takes children from age 11 to 16, and is broken into two stages:

Key Stage 3 (Years 7 to 9, ages 11 to 14)
Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11, ages 14 to 16).

Key Stage 3 involves a broad and balanced curriculum to provide students with the essential knowledge, understanding and skills to become highly educated global citizens. We take a cross-curricular approach to learning, promoting literacy, numeracy, technology and cultural awareness across disciplines. To prepare students for later life, personal, social, cultural, health and economic education (PSCHE) is covered on a daily basis.
