Our school’s Primary curriculum for Year 1 and 2 of Key Stage 1 is designed to keep students interested and engaged in their learning and to ensure there is continuation and progression from the Foundation Stage. In Key Stage 1, students are introduced to more formal activities and achieve greater self-reliance.

Through superlative facilities and a warm, colourful and stimulating learning environment strengthened by the values and essence of Positive Education, our educators provide students differentiated and enjoyable learning programmes, rewards for achievement, and a focus on their individual needs so students build their confidence and learning skills.

We also have a strong and knowledgeable team of subject specialists who work in close collaboration with class teachers who teach Arabic, French, Digital Technology (Information, Communication and Technology), PE (Physical Education) and Music. Curriculum delivery is further enhanced through dedicated sessions in the Library and the use of Digital Technologies.

Our school’s Primary curriculum in Years 3 to 6 of Key Stage 2 aims to produce confident and competent learners and exceptional communicators. Students develop self-discipline and independence as well as respect, humility and compassion for others, continuing their journey with our Positive Education model.

Students participate in Sports, Digital Technologies, Music, Drama, the Performing Arts and diverse extra-curricular activities, including school, local and national competitions, and develop their personal interests and individual personalities.

Continuing Fortes Education's philosophy, RIS celebrates student achievements so students develop their self-esteem and confidence, raise the bar of their goals, and build their character and enhance their well-being.
