Primary School Key Stage 2 In Key Stage 2, we emphasise active investigative methods to facilitate purposeful learning and to encourage independence, while at the same time ensuring that the main requirements of the English National Curriculum are covered.

In line with UK expectations, pupils complete end-of-year assessments that are able to identify progress and achievement very clearly in the “core� areas of Reading, Writing and Mathematics. The curriculum also incorporates Science, Geography, History, Art and Design, Music, Physical Education, PSHE, Portuguese and additional opportunities to learn languages, as well as Computing.

In general, Primary children work mainly with one class teacher although certain subjects, such as Music and PE are taught by specialist teachers. All teaching staff are British nationals or have appropriate teaching qualifications and experience in delivering the English National Curriculum. Each teacher also has the support of a full-time Assistant Teacher. This approach helps ensure that the highest quality of teaching and learning takes place.
