THE BSB SHUNYI ENGLISH NATIONAL CURRICULUM

At our private Primary School in Shunyi District, Beijing, we teach the English National Curriculum, which builds on the skills introduced in the Early Years. Our teachers use an interdisciplinary, skills-based approach, introducing our international Primary School students to formal methods of learning that develop their understanding across the subjects.

OUR ENGLISH NATIONAL CURRICULUM

Primary School students follow the English National Curriculum at BSB Shunyi. The curriculum is divided into two phases: Key Stage 1, which spans Years 1 and 2 (ages 5-7), and Key Stage 2, which covers Years 3-6 (ages 7-11). 

We inspire our children to learn by connecting subjects through immersive themes and topics. For example, our transport theme involves reading stories, the examination of wheel mechanisms, the history of transport, map reading, and more. This interdisciplinary approach helps our Early Years and international pre-school children to draw connections between Literacy, Science, the Humanities, ICT, Design and Technology, and more.

THE CORE SUBJECTS

At our trailblazing international Primary School in Shunyi, Beijing, we focus on the development of Maths, Science, and Literacy skills.

Developing Literacy
Through dedicated units, our international Primary School students learn about fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, enhancing their reading, writing, grammar, phonics, and spelling skills. Our children practice the mechanics of reading the printed word, while also developing a broader understanding of texts through role-playing, retelling, and asking and answering questions.

Mastering Maths
 
Practical activities teach our students about key Maths topics, including numbers, shapes, space, measurements, and data-handling. We expand our learners’ understanding through problem-solving and real-world examples. This teaches them the relevance of Maths in day-to-day life.

Experimenting in Science
Our students learn about living and physical processes through materials, plants, and animals. In brainstorming sessions, they learn how to hypothesise and develop theories. Practical activities and thought-provoking experiments bring learning to life, as they test these ideas and investigate key scientific concepts.
