British National Curriculum & International Primary Curriculum (IPC)

At Lady Elizabeth School we follow a British and international curriculum throughout the Primary Years. Our international curriculum is designed to provide a broad education, preparing students to be global citizens with a holistic perspective and a deep cross-cultural understanding.

At Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 we follow a structured British curriculum, which focuses on reading, writing and maths skills, complemented by science, history and geography. This approach ensures that our students meet international educational standards and develop a solid foundation from an early age.

IPC PARENTS’ HANDBOOK

Methodology of our bilingual nursery school

During the Primary stage, we follow the British curriculum through two periods, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.

Key Stage 1: Year 1 (Years 5-6) & Year 2 (Years 6-7)

In Key Stage 1 pupils focus on developing fundamental skills in reading, writing and maths through playful and participatory teaching methods. Reading and language learning is encouraged through phonics, exploration of a wide variety of texts and continuous practice. In writing, students begin to form complete sentences and use basic punctuation.

Mathematics is taught with a focus on numerical understanding, basic addition and subtraction, and introduction to measurement and geometric shapes. Science, arts and social studies topics are also introduced to encourage a well-rounded education.

Key Stage 2: Year 3 to Year 6 (Years 7-11)

During Key Stage 2, students build on the subjects introduced in Key Stage 1. Reading and writing are more advanced, with an emphasis on grammar, spelling and more complex writing styles. In mathematics, knowledge of mathematical operations, fractions, decimals and data concepts is expanded.

Science is explored in greater detail, including topics such as forces, plants, the human body and physical phenomena. In addition, history and geography are approached with a more global view, preparing students to understand and analyse diverse world contexts and cultures. This approach is also applied to language learning.

Workshops and extra-curricular activities

At Lady Elizabeth School we offer an educational experience that is enhanced by extra-curricular activities, educational trips and parent programmes. Our Plus Clubs encompass over 50 different activities, including sports, arts, science and much more, ensuring that every student finds an activity they are passionate about. For parents, we organise the Parents As Learners programme and monthly talks, encouraging their active participation and continuous learning.

In addition, our students enjoy cultural trips and excursions, from local visits to international trips to improve their language skills.
