Get to know our Primary stage!
In the British system, Primary Education begins in Year 1 (5 years old) and it is during this year when students begin to speak correctly, read and handle numbers. At this stage the Cross-Curricular methodology is applied , the same topic is used to address the subjects of the curriculum so that students acquire knowledge, develop skills and achieve understanding in the different subjects, focusing on a single topic. This way they make connections in a natural and practical way and helps them to think creatively. In Primary all classrooms are staffed by a head teacher who has extensive proven experience in the British system, and specialist teachers in ICT, Physical Education, and Music. As each student is different, and not all students achieve the objectives homogeneously, those students who need help in any area have personalized reinforcement classes.
What subjects will the students take?
In Key Stage 1 (Year 1, Year 2) and Key Stage 2 (Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6) the Curriculum is made up of 10 subjects, which are separated into three core and seven additional subjects.
The KS1 and 2 Curriculum is as follows:

Academic evaluation and continuous supervision
At British Schools we believe that continuous supervision and communication are two key elements for the success of our pedagogical system. For this reason, we make the following monitoring procedures available to parents:
Academy Program
¿Qué es Academy?
Academy is a program created to allow students to develop their full potential, specifically reinforcing those areas in which they have difficulties.
¿En qué consiste?
Individualized academic reinforcement carried out by professionals in the subject and British Curriculum.
- Highly qualified teachers and specialists in each subject.
- Individual classes or in very small groups.
- Preparation for exams (working on exam structure, motivation and confidence).
- Possibility of online monitoring of the study and work done by the student at home.
INDUCTION PROGRAMME
Program specifically created to provide the
first impulse to students entering the school in higher stages (KS2-KS3-KS4-KS5), offering a more extensive support that will prepare them to reach the level of English necessary to face the British Curriculum. The contents of the core subjects will also be reinforced in order for the students to reach the pace and level of the group/class.
- Highly qualified in-house teachers and specialists in each subject.
