Primary School

Students aged 5 - 11 benefit from an integrated approach that combines the British National Curriculum with the International Primary Curriculum, promoting independence, personal development and confidence.

Surrounded by a bilingual English-Spanish environment, they develop their language skills and cultural understanding while developing the skills needed to succeed in a global society.

Our curriculum

By blending global perspectives and hands-on experiences, students build a solid foundation for lifelong learning, preparing them to confidently face future challenges with a strong sense of purpose and respect for others.

Mathematics

Developing analytical minds

Students approach Maths with confidence, curiosity and enjoyment. Following the White Rose Maths Framework, they build a strong foundation by exploring new concepts week by week, guided by a clear and engaging progression that helps them master key learning objectives.

Students are encouraged to believe that "Everyone can do Maths: Everyone Can" - an approach we fully embrace. Through playful challenges, problem-solving activities and differentiated resources, students experience maths as something fun and empowering.

By making connections, exploring patterns and developing resilience, our students don't just learn maths - they develop a lasting love of it.
