British International Primary School Primary school

Children may progress from the infant school into the junior school. Students in the junior school, aged between 7 and 11, follow Key Stage 2 of the British National Curriculum. Students wishing to enter the school will ideally be proficient speakers of English and display the intellectual capacity to fully participate in and benefit from the school's curriculum. The school believes that every pupil is precious and unique. It endeavours to encourage children to become highly motivated to work and to behave well. Parents are regarded as partners in this exercise  and their full involvement is sought. The teachers take their responsibilities seriously, to help each pupil achieve their full potential.

The British International Primary School provides an environment rich in opportunities, challenges and experiences, encouraging each individual to discover and develop a variety of interests. The school aims to develop the self-confidence of each child, as well as discipline and self-respect, so that they are able to participate fully in the life of the community both within the school and outside it.

Teaching style
In the junior school students are presented with new challenges and responsibilities within The British International Primary School's warm and caring environment. The school day becomes more formally structured and students are encouraged, through the school's holistic approach, to focus on doing well in all aspects of their academic, personal, social and physical development. Juniors are offered an extensive range of co-curricular activities. All students are encouraged to play sport and can choose from the many opportunities available. The British International Primary School has a dedicated library and media room, fully equipped outdoor play areas and a 10 metre swimming pool, as well as quiet areas for reading and board games.

The children’s intellectual, emotional, social and physical development is supported by caring classroom teachers and their full-time teaching assistants. All teachers work creatively to capture the interest of boys and girls, to make their learning personalised, enjoyable and meaningful. Teaching strategies are contemporary and students are presented with new challenges and responsibilities within a warm and caring environment.

School uniforms
The British International Primary School believes that a uniform is an important part of a school’s identity. It makes the morning routines at home quicker and simpler! There are also health and safety implications that can be avoided such as unsuitable PE kit or footwear.

Admission
After parents have contacted the school and completed the application form, an appointment for assessment will be made. A copy of the child’s last report (if applicable) is most useful. This baseline assessment is vital as it gives the school a good understanding of your child’s strengths and weaknesses and how best the school can move them forward in their learning. The fee for this assessment is $50 (refundable if the school can not offer your child a place). The assessment will reveal your child’s standard in reading, writing, spelling and maths compared to that of a child of similar age in a UK state school. The results are discussed with parents to see if a suitable place is available for their child. Upon entry to the school a detailed medical form is to be filled in.
