Primary Education (7-11 years)

The academic and teaching organisation at the Primary Education stage ensures proper curricular development and that the goals established in the National Curriculum are met. The teaching staff is comprised of an Infant section co-ordinator and the teachers assigned to each year, who are responsible for tutoring the students.

An important part of the tutorial and pastoral programme are the weekly Assemblies. These cover aspects related to the values that we attempt to instill in our students in an educational and, in many cases, playful way, and they are included as part of the educational design. Apart from facilitating mutual coexistence amongst students of different ages, they favour an atmosphere of respect and appreciation among students, which is the distinguishing characteristic of our centre.

In accordance with the National Curriculum for England and Wales, the areas studied by students at this stage are:

The Primary Education stage includes specialised teachers in certain areas of the curriculum, such as physical education, computer studies and art/design.

The timetables for each year in Primary Education especially in Key Stage 2, are designed so that all subjects given, both the core subjects (English, Mathematics and Science) and the other subjects (History and Geography, Computer Studies, Art and Design, Drama, Physical Education) are allocated sufficient time for the proper development of the teaching schedule: explanations by the teacher, individual and group activities and personal attention to the students.

Native Spanish teachers with appropriate qualifications, co-ordinated by the Head of Spanish Studies, give Spanish language and culture studies. Beginning in Year 2, students have two class periods a day dedicated to the areas of Spanish and Social Studies.
