PRIMARY SCHOOL
Primary school
Children in our Primary classes (Year 1 – Year 6) learn through the National Curriculum strategy from England for Literacy and Numeracy, and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) for all the other subjects.
Through the IPC, they will be engaged in specific learning activities to develop their International Mindedness and the Personal Goals.
We have Specialist Teachers for:
- French
- Music
- Physical Education
- Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Curriculum
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.

BEPS Primary School learning
Celebrating and sharing BEPS Primary School learning
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 and 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.
At the end of June, we enjoyed the Primary School Sports Day.
Children from Year 1 to Year 6 participated in a range of activities in the morning and then played games against their other Year Group Class or in Years 5 and 6 against each other, in the afternoon.
The Secondary Students were on hand to explain and organise the activities, and great fun was had by everyone.
Learning experiences
See what our community says
The best part of our experience at BEPS was to know that the school offered more than just a curriculum and that our son was learning in a multicultural environment with values similar to ours. The emotional support during his adaptation to a new language was impressive, he evolved so fast, being able to express himself in English sooner than we could anticipate

Our son has attended BEPS for the past 5 years. It is our profound pleasure to be a part of the BEPS family. From our very first visit we could feel this was a special school. From the beautiful building to the amazing staff it has been perfect for our son. The school’s diversity is acknowledged and celebrated making it a light in our ever changing world.
All in all BEPS is an oasis of learning and love.

We wish to thank you all for our outstanding experience at BEPS, although our time was short, with your kind advice and support we were able to make the most out of it and return home with a wonderful experience not only for our children but for our whole family.
Very much appreciated, we wish you all the best for the future!
