Year One-Year Two

Ages 5–7 Years

Preparing Future Learners

Our Year 1 & 2 programme provides a challenging and engaging learning environment where children develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed in primary education and beyond. Through a broad and balanced curriculum, children strengthen their academic abilities while continuing to grow as independent, responsible, and compassionate learners.

With high expectations, experienced teachers, and personalised support, every child is encouraged to achieve their full potential and develop a lifelong love of learning.

What Children Learn

Children are encouraged to develop:

• Confident reading, writing, and communication skills
• Advanced mathematical reasoning and problem-solving
• Scientific enquiry and investigation
• STEM, coding, and age-appropriate AI literacy
• Critical thinking and creativity
• History, geography, and understanding of the wider world
• Digital literacy and responsible technology use
• Leadership, collaboration, and independence
• Confidence, resilience, and responsibility
• Preparation for a successful transition to primary school

Ready for the Next Stage

Year 1 & 2 is the culmination of each child’s journey at The International Preschool and Kindergarten. During these important years, children consolidate their literacy and numeracy skills, develop confident learning habits, and become increasingly independent thinkers.

Our academically rich curriculum prepares children for a smooth and successful transition into primary education, equipping them with the confidence, curiosity, and strong foundations they need to embrace future learning with enthusiasm.
