Primary at BSB

Primary education runs from age 2.5 to 11 and we are committed to supporting children through this remarkable period of growth. The unique child is at the heart of all we do and through our Guiding Statements, we aim to inspire and empower to give each child a voice and to recognise their individual strengths.

From the Early Years, across Kindergarten and Reception, we recognise that all children develop in different ways. We believe in each unique child having opportunities to interact in positive relationships and enabling environments.

Lower Primary (Ages 5-7)

We believe that good practice builds on excellent foundations from Early Years. We balance a joyful, play-based approach with the demands of the English National Curriculum so that children are well prepared for the transition to Upper Primary.

The Bilingual Programme

From Year 1, one class in each year group is taught bilingually in French and English by native speakers of each language. Selection to these classes is based on aptitude and attitude towards French language and culture. 

The bilingual classes follow the same curriculum as the English classes, but Maths and English are taught by the English speaking teacher and other subjects are taught in French. For our younger learners, teachers will adapt the level of immersion in the French language depending on the language level of the class. The bilingual programme runs through to the end of Year 9 at which point all of our students enter the British GCSE programme.

Learning from Experts

All our children are taught by specialists for French, Dutch, PE, Music and Outdoor Learning. This gives the children variety in their day, learning from people with expertise and passion in these subjects.

Our specialist teachers are experts in their fields and committed to ensuring that children at BSB enjoy their subjects. In addition to lessons, our specialist teachers offer a broad range of experiences to our children, including trips, team sports, performances and learning a whole range of practical skills. Our specialist teaching provision is part of our whole school commitment to developing the whole child and ensuring that every child can find something they love and can achieve in.

Units of Discovery

Our Units of Discovery cover the content of History, Geography, Science, Design Technology, Art and PHSE. They have been crafted to encourage children to make connections between subjects and to ask big questions about the world they live in.

Our Units of Discovery cover curriculum content, but go further – allowing children to ask questions about the state of the world – past, present and future – and to place themselves as empowered, active citizens within that world. As such, many of their units lead to change and action. In investigating their questions, children consider deeper philosophical and ethical issues around responsibility, power, sustainability and community. They explore how the subjects they study have contributed to and shaped the world and what can be learned from this story of human progress and development.
