Ages and lengths are typical. Every learner is placed individually, so please ask if you are unsure.

The early years shape how children think, learn and understand the world. Our internationally aligned Primary programme gives learners a structured, engaging environment that builds curiosity, confidence and personal development.

What learners study

  • English: reading comprehension, writing, grammar, vocabulary and spelling.
  • Mathematics: number fluency, reasoning and problem-solving.
  • Science: observation, investigation and understanding of the natural world.
  • Digital literacy: responsible technology use and essential digital skills.
  • Humanities and global awareness: communities, environments and cultures.
  • Personal development: emotional awareness, responsibility and respect.

How we teach

Live online lessons are supported by organised coursework and regular assessment. We prioritise understanding over memorisation, so learners question, investigate and apply what they learn.

Preparing for the next stage

Across Stages 1 to 6, each year builds on the last, developing the habits, discipline and curiosity that lead into the Foundation programme.
