British National Curriculum
From Foundation Stage all the way through to graduation at Year 13, we are there to support our students through every stage of development.
Foundation Stage (FS)
At The Sheffield Private School, we follow The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum which sets standards for the learning, development and care of children from birth to 5 years old. The EYFS Framework explains how and what children in EYFS will be learning to support their development. During classroom activities students are made aware of the important High Performance Learning skills and attributes that they need to use and develop to become successful learners.
Primary School
The high academic standards for which a British education is renowned will ensure that your child has the best start on their educational journey. On entry to the school, we assess all our Primary students to ensure we understand their learning needs and to establish a starting point in their learning journey. During the academic year, we establish further assessment points, to measure student progress against these high standards, using British designed assessments.
Secondary School
At our secondary school, we provide the tools to unlock your full potential. Immerse yourself in the National curriculum of England during KS3 and delve into a diverse range of 18 IGCSE subjects. Take your skills to the next level with practical BTEC qualifications in Business, Sports and IT, ensuring a sound foundation for further success. Experience exceptional personal development opportunities, innovative skills training, and an enriching curriculum seamlessly integrated with AI.
