Our Lower Grade Stage
Our Lower Grade Stage
Our Lower Grade stage consists of Years 1 to 6. Children are eligible to join us in the academic year after they reach age 5. At the age of 11, the majority of our students will graduate into the Secondary phase. We assess students for entry at the time of admission, but we cater to a wide range of academic abilities and language needs.
Our Educational Philosophy:
At the heart of our educational philosophy is our firm belief, supported by world-class research, that there is no limit to what your child can learn and achieve.
Our high academic standards will ensure that your child has the best start on their educational journey. On entry to the school, we assess all our Lower Grade students to ensure we understand their learning needs and to establish a starting point in their learning journey. During the academic year, we establish further assessment points, to measure student progress against these high standards.
Our Lower Grade curriculum provides the perfect springboard for progression into the Senior School and future curriculum programme.
Our teachers are all trained in the understanding that your child is an individual. In the classroom, therefore, we aim to provide a personalised education that meets your child’s individual needs.
Through our academic curriculum and within our broader curriculum, we ensure that your child develops to be curious, determined, creative, and confident in their abilities. By nurturing your child’s interests and talents, we provide opportunities for each and every student to fulfill their potential as 21st Century learners and global citizens.
Our Primary School lays solid foundations for future study and personal growth. It includes leadership, academic and social opportunities that will allow your child to explore their potential and help them to overcome and master areas that may feel more challenging at first, transforming children into confident, inquisitive and self-motivated learners.
