Key Stages 1 and 2 are based on the UK National Curriculum. It includes Numeracy, Literacy, ICT, RE, Science and the foundation subjects with specialist teachers for French, Music and Library skills. The maximum staff: pupil ratio is 1:20. We carry out the Standard Assessment test for 7 and 11 year olds (SATs), with excellent results.

In Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) we build on the achievements developed in the Foundation Stage. Children are encouraged to build on their individual skills and talents and develop their own unique personalities. The aim in Years 3 and 4 is to continue developing the skills of communication, literacy and numeracy. We provide an increasing number of opportunities for children to apply their skills in a range of exciting and challenging situations. In Years 5 and 6 we build on and improve skills across the curriculum. Our senior pupils are encouraged to take on greater responsibilities and challenges which focus on preparing them for the transition to secondary education.

Our staff deliver a curriculum which offers an excellent level of academic achievement whilst continuing to foster a child’s creative, emotional and physical needs. Our small class sizes ensure individual attention. British Primary has an outstanding record of preparing children for transfer to other schools in their home environment, or to senior schools in the Brussels area.

Inspection Comment :

"The school provides a sound education for its pupils with appropriate attention to literacy, numeracy and science". "Very good results are achieved by pupils in National Curriculum tests".
