Primary School Curriculum

Curriculum

Based on the British Curriculum, we offer a well balanced syllabus in each of the subjects to allow our students to acquire the skills necessary for a smooth transition to the next Key Stage. The core subjects are English, Mathematics, Science and Computer Science. While the other subjects taught are History, Geography, Art, Music, Thai, Foreign Languages, PSHE and Sports. Our strong ESL and SEN programmes help to ensure that each child gains complete access to the curriculum that is being offered.

Careful planning of the school year ensures that a child receives abundant opportunities to learn and grow in a complete manner.  The curriculum is enriched by various practical learning experiences in the form of intramural competitions, sports competitions, club activities and field trips.

Assessments

To ensure and monitor the progress of the students MISB has a comprehensive and rigorous mechanism for assessments. Formative Assessments are continuous in nature and consist of class tests, quizzes, assignments, project works, and other tools, such as behaviour, tidiness and punctuality are also considered. On top of this, Summative Assessments are held at the end of each term and are the most traditional and proven methods of assessing a child’s progress. Apart from our internal assessments, students also take the SATs, which are externally set and internally examined papers of the National Curriculum
