Academic Life
KS1 & KS2
Key Stage 1 - Years 1 & 2
Key Stage 1 marks the transition into more structured learning. Across Years 1 and 2, pupils build strong academic foundations while continuing to develop their curiosity, confidence and independence. In Years 1 and 2, strong foundations are established in Literacy, Mathematics and the wider curriculum, with pupils encouraged to think, communicate and take an increasingly active role in their learning.
KS1 curriculum
Pupils follow the Cambridge International Primary Programme, with a strong emphasis on English, Mathematics and Science, alongside the humanities. Specialist teaching in Arabic, Religion, ICT, PE, Art and Music provides a broad and balanced curriculum.
Key Stage 2 – Years 3 and 6
In Years 3 to 6, pupils build on their earlier learning as they develop greater confidence and understanding across the curriculum. Teachers guide and support each child to strengthen their knowledge, think more deeply, communicate their ideas and become increasingly independent in their learning.
Alongside academic development, pupils have opportunities to take part in sport, music, art, technology and wider school life, supporting their personal, social and physical development.

Homework & Projects
Homework
We give homework on a regular basis for each subject to ensure progressive academic development, these can be found in the student’s communication book. If the student is absent, we provide the “Homework Absence Slip” to enable all students to catch up on missed work.
