1.1 Full Curriculum
Boys Studying
The Primary School follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP). Core subjects of English, mathematics, language, social studies, arts, science, personal, social and physical education are taught within project based lessons known as ‘Units of Inquiry’. In addition a variety of after school clubs are offered, as well as drama and musical productions. For students in years 4 and above there are two annual trips to our country campus on the Suffolk coast where students focus on outdoor environmental projects and sports activities. In nursery and reception, students develop early learning skills in nurturing and developmentally supportive classes.
1.2 School Foundation
Children with Masks
The School Foundation course for 6-11 year olds prepares students for entry to the full curriculum. Dedicated sheltered Foundation classes allow students to move gradually into their year group. Students develop academic and everyday English, and are encouraged to use their newly acquired language in and out of the classroom. Students study grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading and writing. In addition, they also study the language of academic subjects such as Humanities, Science, Mathematics, Arts and Physical Education. Total tuition time is 26 hours per week. Minimum stay is a half-term.

Children wear a practical uniform to school each day. An extensive Travel and Learn programme is offered to all children wishing to join in exciting world adventures.
1.3 English for Education
Flying a Kite
Our summer school operates during the months of June, July and August. The main focus of this programme is for students to improve their English through fun activities. As well as General English, learners have opportunities to develop English through other disciplines like Art, Drama, Science, Maths and Geography. These are linked together by weekly projects such as water, space or nature and the Discover London academic excursions to museums, galleries and famous historical sites. An afternoon of sport is also included where students practise hand-eye co-ordination and undertake aerobic exercise, as well as sports such as football, basketball, volleyball and badminton. Minimum stay is 2 weeks. The 25 hour programme includes academic excursions and English through sports. All classes are taught by specialist teachers with experience of working with 3-11 year old children.

It was a bit hard for Anna to get used to the new children and a foreign language but she finally enjoyed every day she spent in ICS because of the playtime, trips to the Museums and the teachers.
I hope to repeat this again.
