Primary

CIS Primary School provides an engaging, internationally focused education for children aged 6 to 11 (Years 2–6), built on the Cambridge Primary curriculum. With English as the main language of instruction, our broad and balanced programme includes English, Mathematics, Science, Computing, Humanities, Music, Physical Education, PSHE, Art and Modern Foreign Languages (German and Spanish), ensuring pupils develop strong academic foundations alongside essential life skills.

Primary Curriculum Overview

To enhance learning both in school and at home, we use a range of learning platforms. These include MyiMaths to reinforce mathematical understanding, Times Tables Rock Stars to build fluency and confidence with multiplication, and Spelling Frame to support spelling and vocabulary development. Reading is a key priority across the primary years, supported through Accelerated Reader to promote comprehension and a love of reading, alongside Read, Write Inc., which underpins strong phonics, reading, and writing skills in the earlier primary years.

With small class sizes, highly qualified international staff, and a personalised approach to each child’s development, pupils learn in a supportive and inclusive environment that values curiosity, creativity, resilience, and respectful collaboration. Our vibrant multicultural community and modern facilities near Horský park ensure the primary years are both enriching and rewarding, preparing learners with the skills, confidence, and independence needed to progress smoothly into Secondary School.

Key Stage 1 (KS1) Years 2-3

Key Stage 1 (KS1) is a happy and supportive environment where children grow in confidence and develop a love of learning. With a four-form entry, pupils benefit from a strong sense of community while enjoying opportunities to learn and play together.

Each class is supported by one class teacher and one assistant teacher, ensuring high levels of care, guidance and individual support. A strong focus is placed on learning to read and write through the Read, Write, Inc. phonics programme, alongside a broad and balanced curriculum that supports children academically, socially and emotionally.
