PRIMARY

NBIS is a Cambridge International School and in the Primary Section follows the Cambridge Primary  Curriculum. This provides a continuous and consistent programme leading seamlessly into Cambridge Secondary. The curriculum challenges students in accordance with their abilities, and thus develops confidence, knowledge, understanding and thinking skills in an atmosphere of mutual respect, trust and commitment.

Cambridge is used for the subjects: Mathematics, English, Science, Art, Music, Physical Education, Global Perspectives and Digital Literacy and Computing.

Class sizes are kept small and we are pleased to have two teachers in each classroom,one native English speaker and one Chinese trained teacher. They work side by side and offer us the chance to support those acquiring English,especially in small class sizes.



The mode of instruction is English in all classes and we encourage the use of English at home to enhance and reinforce learning at school. All children have Chinese lessons every week, in groups according to their needs and abilities.


We also have the benefit of specialist PE, Art and Music teachers, and students engage in the use of technology to support learning.


During the year the children take part in Maths, Science and Book Weeks, Drama Day, Science Fair, Sports Day and Art Exhibitions. After school clubs take place and include various sports, arts and creative pursuits taken by the teachers.
