Welcome to the ProEducation Primary School
We have a wonderful, positive and inquisitive time in our fantastic primary school. We are learning so much about the world and everything in it. Our classes, as in the rest of the school, have a high teacher to student ratio so we can give your child the individual attention that they need. Our Primary School is for any children aged between 5 and 11, or, Grade 1 to 6. If your child is this age and has a number of additional needs, they may be more suited to our Towards Independence programme, or a combination of the two curriculums. Why are our Classrooms so Special? We believe we have created innovative learning spaces within our school. As we have specialists onsite, they have helped us to create classrooms with flexible seating, which can help children to focus. We also use teaching methods which are multi-sensory, this means teachers use lots of different ways to share learning material with the students, not just speaking and writing! All of the primary classes are named after birds, and are taught in a spacious and light filled refurbished villa, with a beautiful space for playing and lunch. All of the children have their lunch break at the same time, so there are plenty of opportunities for making new friends and playing games. |
Why is our Teaching so Special?
We follow the International British Curriculum, and the Edexcel IPrimary programme of study. We chose this accreditation system as there is a strong focus on Literacy, Numeracy and Science. We create fun, engaging lessons, where the children are an integral part of their learning journey. Our small class sizes ensure that each student is actively engaged in the learning process.
Our Primary teachers are a mixture of highly trained national and international educators. Regular professional development for our staff ensures our teachers are up to date with current educational research, which assists them to plan the best possible lessons . We have regular workshops run by our Specialist Team and Teachers, as well as bringing in external experts to work on curriculum development. We believe there is always more to learn, even when you're an adult!

Words, Numbers & Facts We thrive on the improvement technology has made to education, and we encourage our students to make the most of what is offer. At ProEducation, School Plus, primary students have access to interactive resources in the classroom and at home through ActiveLearn, which includes BugClub (reading), Abacus (maths) and Science Bug (science). Literacy: We have a team of dedicated international teachers who deliver the English curriculum across the primary school. They incorporate a Talk4Writing approach to Literacy, enabling children to learn key language they need before they begin writing and analysing it. This method is effective as a pre writing skill for children and encourages them to explore new vocabulary. In equal measure, our reading program includes shared, group and individual reading activities. The vocabulary in their reading material often reflects their current unit of inquiry, encouraging further vocabulary extension and deeper understanding of their current topics, whether it be History, Science or Social Studies. Our Literacy program includes:
