Key Stage 2 Curriculum Guide 2023-24 by BrightonCollegeBangkok

Key Stage 2 Curriculum Guide 2023-24 TO BE ACADEMICALLY AMBITIOUS AND INTELLECTUALLY CURIOUS Two key words here are ambitious and curious. We want our children to aim high and in doing so learn at the edge of their comfort zone. We also want to engender a love of learning regardless of academic achievement.

TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF Every child is different, with their own passions and learning style. Our pupils should be ‘comfortable in their own skin’, confident of their own unique potential and ultimately successful in their individual pathway to university or other future opportunity.

TO BE KIND AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE As parents we want our children to be good people, empowered to make a positive difference to the world around them. Leadership and teamwork are vital if they are to maximise this potential.
