Primary (KS1 & KS2)
Key Stage 1
The Foundation Stage is the framework for children’s learning in FS1 and FS2; this is followed by the English National Curriculum. Children in Year 1 will have a gradual move to UK National Curriculum standards.
The teachers adapt their work so that it is appropriate to the different levels of ability found in each class. Not all children progress at the same rate.
WHAT ARE OUR AIMS?
- To build on excellent Foundation Stage experience
- To continue to develop independence
- To gradually introduce formal lessons
- For each child to achieve his/her full potential
- To enjoy school and continue to develop positive attitudes to learning

KEY STAGE 2
CURRICULUM
Cairo English School school follows the English National Curriculum with the addition of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Christian Studies and Egyptian Social Studies. Our Key Stage 2 curriculum also encompasses the core areas of English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Computing, Physical Education, Art and Music. Arabic and French are offered as second language options.
Where possible, the curriculum is delivered through a cross-curricular approach, which we believe facilitates holistic and meaningful learning. The exception to this approach is in teaching the basic skills of English, Maths and Computing.
