Curriculum

Primary

​

Our curriculum at Norwich is based on the National Curriculum for England, Wales and Northern Ireland adapted to our international setting and our Values. We enhance the curriculum with a provision for mindfulness and with a deliberate focus on Mandarin. Children in Primary (Years 2 to 6) access Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum.

The Homeroom teachers from Year 2 to 5 deliver the English, Mathematics, ICT and Connected Learning (Geography, History and Science) aspects of the National Curriculum and Specialist Teachers deliver the rest of the curriculum. For Year 6 specialist teachers deliver all aspects of the curriculum. The specialist lessons in Primary are:

Year 2 – 10 specialist lessons: Mindfulness, Music, 2 periods of Physical Education or Swimming, 2 periods of Mandarin, and 4 periods of Thai. Students have an afternoon break.

​

Year 3 and 4 – 11 specialist lessons: Mindfulness, Music, 2 periods of Physical Education or Swimming, 3 periods of Mandarin and 4 periods of Thai.

Year 5 – 12 specialist lessons: Mindfulness, Music, 2 periods of Physical Education or Swimming, 4 periods of both Thai and Mandarin.

Year 6 – all lessons are with specialists: Mindfulness, Music, Drama, 7 periods of English, 5 periods of Mathematics, Science, and Global Perspectives (Humanities), 4 periods of both Thai and Mandarin, 2 periods of Physical Education or Swimming, Art and ICT and they also have an Assembly or a Personal Social and Health Education (PSHE) lesson on a Friday morning.
