Early Years | Primary
 

In the primary department we offer a broad and balanced timetable in line with the guidelines of the British National Curriculum.

Our programme is tailored to meet the individual needs of each child and to fit in with our international setting.

We use the Literacy Strategy and the Numeracy Strategy. These are both based on extensive, world wide research into the best methods for teaching English and Maths. They both develop key skills in a structured and organised way

while encouraging children to use an investigative approach to learning. They both work from the principle that people learn best when they understand why they are learning something and when they can see how it works.

While adopting the British curriculum framework, we are keen to have an international educational approach. In particular, we adapt our curriculum to our local environment - Uganda- and to the specific backgrounds of our pupils. Our social studies has been re-molded to explore world history and our local geography studies are based around East Africa.

Computer Literacy plays such an important role in today’s world and the use of computers is considered as part of our daily classroom experience as well as having specialist lessons.

Personal and social development is as important as academic achievement. We believe in helping our students to become kind and thoughtful individuals. We recognise the importance of nurturing communication skills and teamwork. We want our students to take on responsibility and become the leaders of future society. We would like our students to recognise their role as global citizens.
