Grade 1 and 2

At Disley Private School, we build on our students’ skills by encouraging independent learning during Key Stage 1 which comprises Grades 1 and 2. It is important for us that students acquire the tools to become responsible for their own learning as well as the abilities to work collaboratively within a group. We aim to create self-motivated learners that strive for excellence with the understanding that making mistakes is part of the learning process. Developing students that are open minded, persistent and resilient are also of the utmost importance during this phase. Our Key Stage 1 learners are able to make respectful contribution to an engaging classroom.

The curriculum 

Key Stage 1 represents the first two years of the primary phase: Grades 1 and 2. At this crucial stage, the children are taught a well-thought-out combined curriculum aimed at creating self-motivated, respectful, responsible, resilient and curious students. They are first introduced to Cambridge subjects namely English, Science and Maths combined with the many subjects included in the Ministry of Education’s National Curriculum such as ICT, Arabic, Islamic, Music/Arts and Physical Education (PE). The curricula encourage active learners that is supported by professional and highly qualified staff.
