PRIMARY EXCELLENCE

Cross-curricular learning and creative thinking for children aged 5 to 11. Where bright futures begin.

Primary Education

In the British system, Primary Education begins in Year 1 (age 5), and it is during this year that students begin to speak correctly, read and work with numbers. At this stage we apply the Cross-Curricular methodology: a single theme is used to approach the subjects of the curriculum, so that students gain knowledge, develop skills and achieve understanding across the different subjects while focusing on one theme. In this way they make connections naturally and practically, and it helps them to think creatively. In Primary, every classroom has a lead teacher with extensive, proven experience in the British system. As each student is different and not everyone reaches the objectives in the same way, those who need help in a particular area have access to personalised reinforcement classes (Academy).

Primary Excellence

Academic evaluation and continuous supervision

At British School Group, academic assessment and continuous monitoring are built on constant, detailed communication with families to ensure educational success. This commitment takes shape through parents evenings three times a year, where parents discuss each student's progress and attitude with their class teacher, together with the sending of termly reports which detail academic attainment and effort in each subject, including a comprehensive annual report on their progress.

What is Academy?

Academy is a personalised support programme designed to help students reach their full academic potential by providing targeted reinforcement in the areas where they need it most. Lessons are delivered by highly qualified teachers with expertise in the British Curriculum, ensuring that each student receives tailored instruction to strengthen their understanding, build confidence and achieve meaningful progress.

What does it consist of?

The programme consists of scheduled weekly sessions tailored to each student's individual learning goals. Depending on their needs, sessions may focus on consolidating key concepts, closing learning gaps, developing effective study skills, improving organisation, extending learning or preparing for assessments. Teaching is adapted throughout the year to reflect each student's progress and evolving needs.

Induction Programme

A programme specifically designed to support students joining the School in the upper stages (KS2, KS3, KS4 and KS5), helping them make a smooth and successful transition into the British Curriculum. The programme provides targeted reinforcement in core subjects, enabling students to reach the pace and academic level of their year group as quickly as possible. Lessons are delivered by highly qualified in-house teachers and subject specialists through individual tuition or very small groups, ensuring personalised support tailored to each student's needs. A strong emphasis is also placed on English language development, with intensive reinforcement in grammar, writing, reading comprehension and subject-specific vocabulary to build the confidence and language skills required to succeed across the curriculum.
