With a global perspective, we celebrate cultural diversity and promote intercultural understanding, ensuring that every student feels valued and inspired to reach their full potential.

The Primary School is for children aged 6 - 11 years old.  There are 6 year groups, PYP 1 through to PYP 6.  Within each year group there are 2 classes. 

All lessons are delivered in English. If your child needs it, we'll provide additional language  support to ensure they quickly thrive here.

The Primary School Curriculum

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, we proudly offer the Primary Years Programme (PYP), a balanced curriculum that promotes the acquisition of key skills through inquiry-based learning. We work hard to create a very special learning experience for our primary-aged students. The PYP nurtures and develops young students as caring, active participants in a lifelong journey of learning.  

Through its inquiry-led, transdisciplinary framework, the PYP challenges students to think for themselves and take responsibility for their learning as they explore local and global issues and opportunities in real-life contexts.

By developing the attributes of the IB learner profile, students also learn how to demonstrate respect for themselves and others, developing international-mindedness by working with others for a shared purpose and taking positive action for change.
