An Ambitious Curriculum for British International Primary Schools
We offer international primary schools a choice of two high-quality, evidence-informed curriculum models. Choose from either a fully sequenced, knowledge-rich curriculum or a thematic, creative and more flexible curriculum. Housed on our online platform Maestro, both curriculums comprehensively cover the English National Curriculum (2014). They can be fully customised to meet the diverse needs of your school and community. Each model is built around ten global concepts or big ideas that support the development of learners aged 3-11. Both curriculums provide a range of engaging projects, lesson plans and resources that help children become culturally competent global citizens.
