Key Stage 1

ENVIRONMENT
Purpose-Built Campus for Student Growth
In our Primary school, classes are taught in combination with our expat and Indonesian teacher. Our spacious open-air joglo classroom and outdoor learning spaces allow for many exciting and varied learning opportunities. The Primary students also have a purpose built tree house style playground equipment, to develop their gross motor skills.
ASSESSMENT
Continous Assessment for Informed Teaching
Assessment of students’ progress is continuous throughout the year and in line with the standards set out in the British National Curriculum. Two interim reports and one summary report are completed during the academic year, as well as 2 Parent and Child-Teacher Conferences and a Student-Led Conference. Each of these provide updated feedback regarding each child’s education, development and progress.
