BEPS offers the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), which is recognised internationally as a programme that challenges children to reach their individual potential by offering “Great learning, great teaching, great fun”
The International Primary Curriculum (IPC) is a 21st Century curriculum which extends children’s knowledge, skills and understanding in subjects by developing personal attributes and supporting an international perspective in a way that responds to the changing world around us. IPC is an internationally-minded curriculum which is used by over 1000 schools in over 90 countries worldwide.
By using the IPC we are able to nurture a love of learning and encourage the necessary key skills and personal qualities such as adaptability, communication, cooperation, enquiry, morality, resilience, respect and thoughtfulness, which will help children to become able and inspired learners. In addition to this, children will extend their knowledge and understanding of communities beyond that of their own country by exploring many aspects of other societies and ways of living.
At the end of the year, instead of covering a class IPC unit, each child in Year 6 will choose and work on their own unit. This will be a subject that interests them or where they feel they can make a difference. This will result in an End of Primary Exhibition where they will share their findings with the school community in different ways. This will reflect how they have learnt whilst at BEPS, demonstrating skills such as oral presentations, written articles, results of their own surveys and a PowerPoint presentation
